This scenic and interesting walk leads from the centre of Brixen/Bressanone to the Neustift Monastery, one of the largest abbeys in South Tyrol. With its cloister and important library, the monastery complex of the Augustinian canons is most certainly worth a visit.

Further information and useful links

Start at the Adlerbrücke bridge in the old town of Brixen (561 m) and follow trail no. 16 north on the left side of the Eisack river.

Continue walking along the bank of the Eisack before reaching the underpass of the old Pustertaler Straße road. Turn left and follow the road to the Neustift Monastery (595 m). To return, take trail no. 16 back to the starting point.
