Hiking tours and trekkings
Geoparc Bletterbach near Aldein, South Tyrols' Gran Canyon
Located just 10 km / 6 miles from Deutschnofen and often dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the South Tyrol", this landmark is undoubtedly one of nature's outstanding works of art. This geological masterpiece of a gorge, located in the foothills of Mount Weisshorn, allows you to see directly - much better than in a textbook - how the Dolomites came to be formed.
Tip for walkers:
Point of departure: Laner-Alm. From here, take path no. 3 and bear right, following it directly downhill to Taubenleck. Continue on from the waterfall (near Butterloch) to the end of the valley (Gorz), and return uphill and northwards along the Gorzsteig path until you reach the forest road. The final descent then leads back to the car park at Lahner-Alm.

Just stand on the banks of the lake for a while, to understand why this mountain lake is the source of so many legends, and an inspiration for so many renowned painters and famous writers.
