Trail b | Aldein - Montan
Südtirols Süden
On this segment, you will proceed from Aldein uphill to Montan. At first, you can proceed along a relatively relaxing trail until you reach Holen. From there, it gets steeper until you reach the Aldein Bridge (known as the "Little European Bridge" when first built in the 1960s). This is a good opportunity to make a rest-stop and/or get some refreshments. You then continue along the former route of the Fleims Valley railroad, through spruce forests (common here on the southwest flank of the Cislon). Just before arriving at Montan, you'll pass by the Elsenhof farmstead and the impressive Enn Castle. Then, continue via the "Wine Forest Water" Trail to the center of the village of Montan, famed for its Pinot Noir, at an elevation of 500 meters above sea-level. This is the end of the route.
