Directly from Wildberg: Hiking & Cycling at the Gateway to the Dolomites 

Mountains, mountains, and more mountains, and you’re right in the middle of them. With the Puster Valley Cycle Path right on your doorstep and the most beautiful hiking trails just behind the house, Wildberg is the perfect starting point for your Dolomite adventures. 

Hiking: From the Roman road to the summit cross 

You can set off straight from Wildberg: The Archaeological Trail tells the story of the Romans through 11 information boards, whilst the Klosterwald Circular Trail takes you through shady woods in 1.5 hours to the small chapel at the war memorial. This is perfect for the first day of your holiday. Those looking to go higher can hike to the Moosener Kaser Mountain Hut (1,810 m) or continue on to the Kronplatz (Plan de Corones) summit (2,275 m) with a fabulous view stretching from the Großglockner to the Marmolada. Things take a mystical turn on the St. Lorenzen (San Lorenzo di Sebato) Legend Trail with 10 stops and legends that will delight children. Our tip for swimming fans: the path to the marsh and Lake of Issingen (Issengo) leads through a fragrant pine forest. Don’t forget your swimming trunks! 

Cycling: Puster Valley Cycle Path and more 

South Tyrol’s most famous cycle path runs right past Wildberg and offers 100 kilometres of breathtaking beauty. Turn left to reach the episcopal city of Brixen (Bressanone) or right to head for Lienz in Austria. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can cycle 3 km to Bruneck (Brunico) where cappuccino, gelato, and a charming old town await. A little further on, the Loden Museum in Vintl (Vandoies) (18 km) or the picturesque Sand in Taufers (Campo Tures) (20 km) beckon, with its castle and Reinbach Waterfalls. For mountain bikers, the Kronplatz (Plan de Corones) region offers endless trails, whilst road cyclists rave about the Strada del Sole and the legendary Dolomite passes. 

‘Hiking, cycling, sunbathing by the Mühlbachl stream, and a sauna in the evening. Summer afternoons just like in the old days. Camping can be so relaxing!’
