7 beautiful places in South Tyrol that are still undiscovered | Travel tips & destinations

Interesting places in South Tyrol that are still undiscovered: waterfalls, mountain lakes, and castles. We show you special excursion destinations and sights for your next stay. Have you ever been to South Tyrol? If so, where did you go and which places would you recommend? Here you can find an overview of all excursion destinations: https://homeoftravel.de/schone-ausflu... Rastenbachklamm: Far in the south of South Tyrol lies the Rastenbachklamm. The surroundings resemble a jungle. Iron stairs and walkways lead the path into the wild and romantic gorge. The circular hike through the gorge takes just under two hours and involves climbing approximately 250 meters. In the upper section, the water flows down over gentle cascades. But at the very bottom, you suddenly find yourself in front of a fascinating waterfall. The viewing platform is also worth seeing. A platform rises above the treetops into the landscape. And nestled between the rocks, Lake Kaltern shines in an intense turquoise. Kurtatsch: Our next tip is the wine village of Kurtatsch on the South Tyrolean Wine Route. The vineyards are located between the houses at different altitudes. This means there is a huge selection of different types of wine here. More lively white wine grapes thrive in the higher elevations, and full-bodied red wine grapes ripen in the lower elevations. To try out different varieties, it is worth visiting the winery. There you can take a tour of the wine cellars and learn a lot about cultivation. Hocheppan Castle: Hocheppan Castle was one of the most important fortresses in South Tyrol. It rises above Bolzano in a very photogenic position. From the parking lot, you can reach the well-preserved ruins in about 30 minutes on foot. The castle is protected by a complex system of outworks and towers from the late Middle Ages. If you have time, we recommend the castle hike. This way you can also visit the Boymont castle ruins and Korb Castle. For an even better view you should climb a few hundred meters above the archery course. Then you can look down at the fortress from above. Fennberg via ferrata: The Fennberg via ferrata is not for the faint of heart. From Margreid you climb up the massive rock face of the Fennberg using footrests and ladders. You should definitely have a head for heights and, if in doubt, have a mountain guide accompany you. The route is around 12 km long and you will overcome almost 1000 meters in altitude. It is advisable not to do the Fennberg via ferrata in midsummer. The rock face is in the sun almost all day and it can get quite hot. For the descent, we would recommend you take the return route via the Fenner high plateau. This is where the idyllic Fennberger See is located, also a relatively unknown place in South Tyrol. Barbian Waterfalls: Here the water thunders down from a depth of up to 85 meters. The lower waterfall is quite easy to reach and a true natural spectacle. You can get very close. But you should definitely not turn around. A hiking trail takes you to further waterfalls and a wooden bridge. It is stretched over the rushing river directly in front of the upper waterfall. At the end of the circular hike, you can stop in Dreikirchen. The place is a true place of power with a beautiful panoramic view. Chestnut Trail: The chestnut trail in the Eisack Valley leads through beautiful chestnut groves. And when the fruits slowly ripen and the leaves change color, the landscape looks like something out of a kitschy painting. Added to this are the countless breathtaking views and idyllic passages through vineyards. The Eisack Valley Chestnut Trail is over 90 kilometers long in total. However, you can also simply hike sections, such as the approximately 6-kilometer section between Feldthurns and Säben Monastery. The numerous huts and farms along the trail invite you to stop for a break. Here you can enjoy good wine and a traditional snack. Salten Plateau: The Salten Plateau is the highest larch plateau in Europe. After all, we are at an altitude of around 1,500 meters. At the very top, there is an inn, a farm, and next to it a quaint church. If you want to visit this place, you'll need to lace up your hiking boots or take your bike. Then, the trail continues uphill along car-free forest paths, past green alpine meadows, herds of cows, and horse paddocks. The views all around are breathtaking. For example, you can see the Latemar, the Rosengarten, the Schlern, and next to them the Sassopiatto and Sassolungo. And the Sella massif peeks out in the background. Thanks for watching!
