Welcome to Schabs/Aicha

Three and a half hours, eleven kilometres: this circular route leads from Natz through the Fruhn forest to the Waldertor viewing point, via Viums to Schabs, past the Flötscher pond to Raas and back to Natz.

A quick one-hour loop: from the centre of Schabs, this easy walk leads clockwise along soft forest paths into the Rienz Gorge and back again. A highlight: the view of Rodenegg Castle.

This hike leads from Schabs to four historic lime pits (with an information board explaining their past) and continues towards Aicha. The return route can also be varied via the Ochsenbühel.

From the chapels to the construction of Franzensfeste Fortress and the short life of Matthäus Perger, known as the “Lauterfresser”: local history and sights come together on this themed trail.

22 metres tall with a trunk circumference of over six metres: no one knows exactly how old the lime tree beside the cemetery wall in Aicha is - but it’s certainly something special.

The chestnut trees on the northern edge of Aicha are protected. Once a staple food known as “bread for the poor”, the sweet chestnut is now a regional delicacy, especially in autumn.

Just seven kilometres from Brixen, the Plose offers a sunny winter sports area and is part of Dolomiti Superski: 40 kilometres of slopes, seven lifts and runs for all levels.

With 55 kilometres of pistes, reliable snow conditions and a sunny south-facing slope overlooking the Dolomites, it offers variety for beginners, challenges for experts and plenty of space for families.

Nature, panoramic Dolomite views and exciting attractions: in summer, the Plose shows its active side. And during selected periods, one ascent and descent per day is included with the Brixen Südtirol Guest Pass.

Effortlessly up, relaxed on the way down - and in between, a full day of experiences. The lifts take you straight into adventure: hikes, family parks and more.
