Route: Junction Unterwielenbach -> Wielenberg -> Platten -> Thalerhof -> Erdpyramidenweg -> Oberwielenbach (Schießstandweg)
This tour is manageable in terms of length and walking time. But you will certainly spend a lot more time looking, marveling and reading. You will come across the idyllic hamlet of Wielenberg with its quaint farms, the pretty church of St. Kolomans and a nature trail at the herb farm at the end of the hamlet. The view of the Puster Valley basin and the Dolomites opposite is also worth admiring, as is the hamlet of Platten. The fascinating earth pyramids change color depending on the time of day and the incidence of light and can be admired from the lovingly designed vantage points. The Pyramid Trail opens up the world of geology in an interesting way.
This tour is taken from the book “Öffi Touren in Südtirol” by Rosmarie Rabanser Gafriller (Athesia Tappeiner Verlag).
