Trail b | Montan – Aldein
Südtirols Süden
On this segment, you will proceed from the famed Pinot Noir village of Montan uphill to Aldein – from 500 meters up to 1,200 meters above sea-level. At the beginning of the segment, you will take the "Wine Forest Water" Trail and pass by the Enn Castle and the Elsenhof farmstead which belongs to it. You will then proceed along the old tracks and through the spruce forests (common here on the southwest flank of the Cislon) and farther to the Aldein Bridge (known as the "Little European Bridge" when first built in the 1960s). This is a good opportunity for hikers to make a rest-stop and/or get some refreshments. You will then proceed to the hamlet of Holen and on to Aldein.
