Grand Hotel Dobbiaco

Highlight • Monument

Dobbiaco is a town located in the Val Pusteria, a few kilometers from the Austrian border. Not far from Dobbiaco are the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo: it is therefore considered the gateway to the Dolomites. Dobbiaco is famous for its Nordic ski facilities: it is often a stage for the cross-country skiing World Cup. From Dobbiaco many hiking and cycling itineraries start, which allow you to reach the lake of Dobbiaco and the Val di Landro. In the center of Dobbiaco it is possible to admire the parish church of San Giovanni Battista and the imposing Grand Hotel.

Lake Braies north shore

Highlight • Lake

Lake Braies has a unique location in the middle of the Braies Dolomites and in the northern part of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park. The geological origin of the "Pearl of the Dolomite Lakes", as the emerald green lake is often called, is due to the creation of a dam through a mud flap.

Lake Braies also plays a role in the world of legends, because it was said that you could reach the underground realm of the Fanes by boat. The gateway to the underworld was at the southern end of the lake, where the imposing Seekofel (2,810 m) dominates the lake. It is not for nothing that this summit of the Braies Dolomites, coveted by mountaineers, bears the name "Sass dla Porta", meaning Torberg. Lake Braies is also the starting point for numerous mountain tours in the area and the Dolomite high-altitude trail no. 1 starts here. From the surrounding mountains you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake.

The only drawback: the lake is a very popular tourist destination. Visually beautiful, you won't find the tranquility of the mountains here.

Paved Cycle Path Towards Lago di Braies

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The main road is known to be very busy. For the first part of the route, however, there is a tarred alternative - with several drinking water fountains. The starting point of the ascent is directly on the Pustertal long-distance cycle path.

Brunico Historic Center

Highlight • Settlement

Bruneck is the only town in South Tyrol named after its founder, Prince-Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg. Located at the confluence of the Ahr and Rienz, Bruneck was first mentioned in documents in 1256 AD. Ideally located for holidaymakers in both summer and winter, the district of Reischach (940 to 990 metres) and behind it the Plan de Corones (2,275 metres), the northernmost peak of the Dolomites, are located near Bruneck.

Lake Valdaora

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

You are spoiled for choice between the busy main road and the gravel road around the lake. Highly graveled way on the lake is recommended
