Surprise panoramic mountain hike

Helpful facts

A magical mountain hike along the mystical legend trail above Merano/Meran. The meeting point for this tour is the large parking lot at the sports field in Laces. We drive together with our own car to the parking lot of the Texelbahn in Partschins (approx. 20 minutes by car from Latsch). From there, we start the tour at a leisurely pace along the roaring Zielbach stream and then head towards Golderskofel, a fantastic vantage point with a magnificent view of Merano. The path there is a little steep in places. After enjoying this panoramic view, the trail continues through mixed forest past old mountain farms on the Sonnenberg to the Parcines waterfall, one of the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in South Tyrol with a drop of almost 100 meters. After this refreshment for the body and vitalization of the mind, we continue up to a somewhat peculiar mountain inn (surprise). There we take a break, enjoy the South Tyrolean delicacies and the view of the valley and the peaks of the Sarntal Alps opposite. We then hike over the Nenberg, sometimes a little steeply, down to the starting point.
