NOW NEW: A SPACIOUS FENCED TRAINING AREA FOR YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND

I love the fenced dog training area surrounded by green meadows. Here I can sprint, leap, play and after that flop into the soft grass, stretch out and just soak in pure happiness.

Petras hiking tip: In the Footsteps of the Ancient Romans

Enjoyable hike with welcome shade, fascinating history and plenty of time for unhurried sniffing breaks - ideal for a relaxed hike with your dog
The trail from Chienes to Casteldarne winds through a tranquil forest, where dappled sunlight filters through the trees. Along the way, information boards recall the route’s remarkable past: this woodland path once formed part of an important Roman road.
In Casteldarne, a short detour leads up to the parish church of Maria Himmelfahrt, perched proudly on a hill offering views of the surrounding landscape. The walk then continues deeper into the forest towards the historic Casteldarne milestone rising two metres high and carved from quartz phyllite. It is now considered one of the best-preserved Roman milestones and once marked the distance to the ancient Roman town of Aguntum.
From here, the path gently descends to the cycle path, which comfortably guides you back to the starting point in Chienes.

Claudias hiking tip: Campolino e Badia Castle

Wonderfully circular walk through forest and open countryside, filled with sweeping views and natural scents - a true little paradise for curious dog noses
The route passes the tennis courts and climbs gently along a forest track, passing the flower-strewn meadows of Liensberg before leading into cool woodland on the way to Campolino. Soon, rising majestically on a hilltop, Badia Castle comes into view. Once a flourishing Benedictine monastery, the historic castle now serves as an elegant hotel - the perfect spot to pause, take in the scenery and enjoy a well-earned break. Crossing to the other side of the calmly flowing Rienz river, the circular trail continues through a light-filled pine forest. Along the way, you pass the historic Fallen heroes memorial "Klosterwald" before the path leads on to Casteldarne and back to Chienes.
This scenic loop beautifully combines nature, history and tranquil riverside landscapes - ideal for a relaxed and rewarding day with your dog.

Johannas hiking tip: Pine Oil Distillery and Lake Issengo

A refreshing hike through shady forests, alongside babbling brooks and fragrant herbs - perfect for water-loving dogs
The hike starts at the Gassenwirt and crosses the tiny Rumpelbach brook, before the trail winds past the fire station and into a serene woodland. The gentle babble of the brook accompanies you, offering a naturally refreshing spot for your four-legged companion while the path gradually rises. Along the way, you’ll discover the pine oil distillery and herb garden "Bergila", where for over a century fragrant herbal oils have been lovingly crafted.
Soon, the path opens to the Lake Issengo. From here, the trail continues toward Falzes. Soft forest paths underfoot, plenty of sniffing opportunities, and the pure sights and smells of nature make this stage a perfectly rewarding hike with your dog.
