Colle/Kohlern: Overhanging the Sasso Rosso/Rotenstein - Description

From the playground, follow the E5 path towards Colle dei Signori/Herrenkohlern, from where you can admire a wonderful 180° panorama that sweeps from the Mendola/Mendel to San Genesio/Jenesien, the Forcella Sarentina/Sarner Scharte and the Corno del Renon/Rittner Horn. The little church dedicated to St. Mary was built in 1744. Pass the houses and walk along the forest road following the trail E5 to the Totes Moos biotope. Turn right at the biotope and follow trail no. 1A, keeping the pond on the left and the forest road on the right. The little path leads up to the Sasso Rosso/Rotenstein overhang, where you can see the Adige Valley and the villages of Appiano/Eppan, Caldaro/Kaltern and Laives/Leifers. Return to the biotope on the same trail and then continue along trail no. 1 to Schneiderwiesen and then back to the cable car.
