In 1494 the famous German artist Albrecht Dürer traveled to Italy for the first time. The destination of his trip was Venice. Since the Adige Valley was flooded, the artist had to detour after his stay at the Klösterle St. Florian near Neumarkt on the route from Laag to Buchholz. He passed through the gorge of the Laukusbach and crossed the so-called Roman bridge, passed through Buchholz (Salurn), to finally climb the Sauchpass. From there he continued to "Lago Santo" and then descended to Cembra, Faver and the castle of Segonzano until he reached the earth pyramids of Seganzano. During his stay in the castle of Segonzano, some of his famous watercolors were created.
You can experience part of this historic path on this hike.

From the Klösterle in St. Florian the steep path no. 8 leads at the foot of the Madruttwand (1,507 m) near the tennis courts south of the village of Laag. From there (213 m) following trail marker 7, the path leads up to "Rollhütt" (422 m) and on the paved path to the large stone bridge beyond it, staying on the wide path and leaving marker 7, it goes almost level through the steep slopes out into the open field and finally up to Buchholz. Passing the bacon pub "Perkeo", path no. 8 (partly on the road, partly on the old path) leads down towards Salurn (224 m, about 45 minutes from Buchholz). In a few minutes from here you can reach the well-known sculpture garden "Garden of Longing" by the artist Sieglinde Tatz-Borgogno in Buchholz.
