Experience Eppan by foot

Eppan on the South Tyrolean Wine Road has a lot to offer culturally. It is therefore no coincidence that the municipality is known as the area with the most castles in South Tyrol. Curious visitors can discover three of them on the Three Castles Hike: Schloss Hotel Korb, Hocheppan Castle and Boymont Castle.

The adventurous Eppan high trail is located below the Mendel crest. The tour leads through forests and offers a wonderful view over Bozen, the South Tyrolean lowlands and all the way to the Dolomites. The best starting point for the tour is Gasthof Steinegger, where parking is also available. A varied hike for nature lovers. This day hike is highly recommended from spring to late autumn.

The cosy forest idyll around the small and large Montiggl lakes offers a variety of hiking trails. The forest with its lakes is one of the most important natural monuments in Italy. A hiking trail leads around Lake Montiggl, along the course of which you can always find cosy places to cool off or relax. A wooden footbridge has been created through the reed belt, where the wildlife of the biotope can be observed undisturbed.

A phenomenon that attracts visitors from all over South Tyrol takes place in the spring valley between the two Montiggl lakes and Lake Kaltern: yellow primroses, white mullein, violet liverworts, blue crocuses and primroses reach for the sky - a colourful natural carpet of blossoms delights the mind after the harsh winter days. In the middle of it all, the tranquil rivulet of the Angelbach meanders southwards. The walk is best enjoyed between mid-February and the end of March.
