Colle/Kohlern: Monte Pozza/Titschen 1616m, the highest point of Bolzano and the "FLAK" ruins - Description

From Klaushof, follow signpost no. 5 in the direction Titschenwarte to reach the small lake with the old mill next to it. Continue along the forest road until you come to a stone staircase with a wooden handrail on your left. Climb up along the path, which enters a dense forest, and then venture further uphill between roots and rocks along the steep path. Pass the Holy Water Stone and reach the Titschenwarte viewpoint, which opens out onto the Sciliar/Schlern, the Catinaccio/Rosengarten group, the Latemar and the Pala di Santa/Zanggen. Leave the little house behind you and follow path no. 5A for a short distance, after a few minutes’ walk turn left following path no. 5B towards Monte Pozza/Titschen. The highest point at an altitude of 1616m can be recognised by the stone capital from 1994. A little further on you can admire some ruins: this is the FLAK post placed there by the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces) of the Third Reich during the Nazi occupation (1943 - 1945) to counter the allied air raids that attempted to bomb the main lines of communication and the war industries of the so-called Operationszone Alpenvorland. Follow the cemented road and then trail no. 1 in the direction of Schneiderwiesen and Colle/Kohlern to return to the cable car.
