Geotrail Bulla - Description

Along the geological trail between the Passo Pinei and Bulla, you can find interesting information panels explaining the evolution of the world-renowned Dolomites. The path leads through geological highlights on the margin of the UNESCO world heritage site and offers fantastic panoramic views on the mountains of Val Gardena.
The Geotrail Bulla is a pleasant circular trail situated on the northern slope of Bullaccia.
Eight information panels describe in four languages (German, Italian, Ladin, and English) the geological peculiarities of the location. The highlight of the trail is marked by panel No. 2; here the excursionist physically passes through the Permian-Triassic boundary, which marks one of the greatest changes in the development of life on earth. 250 million years ago more than 90% of all species, plants and animals in water, land, and air became extinct due to enormous volcanic eruptions.
