53 hikes and mountain tours around Bolzano and Caldaro - between the Passo di Pennes and Brixen, Eppan in the Überetsch region, and Salorno in the Unterland. Bolzano is not only the capital of South Tyrol but also a central starting point for hikes in the heart of this enchanting region. The city is surrounded by landscapes with diverse characteristics: the fringes of the Dolomites, the fertile soils of the Etsch Valley in the Unterland of Bolzano, the sun-drenched mid-mountain landscape around Lake Caldaro, the steep Mendel ridge, and the pleasantly unspoiled Sarntal Valley, dominated by the still tranquil Sarntaler Alps. Just outside Bolzano, there are excellent excursion areas - on the heights of Salten and Tschöggelberg, on the Ritten, and on the Kohlerer Berg. The excellent South Tyrol experts Helmut Dumler, Gerhard Hirtlreiter, and Eugen E. Hüsler have contributed to the guidebook.
