On tour: The colours of autumn

When the trees at the foot of the Sciliar mountain, glow in yellow, red and brown then it's time to walk around the villages of Fiè, Siusi and Castelrotto.

Classic tour. The Oachner Farmstead Trail of Aica di Fiè is among the most popular and well known excursions. Those who wish to enjoy autumn in all its facets can visit the old farms along the route. It takes you through vineyards, chestnut forests from Presule to St. Catherine at Aica di Fiè. And there a well deserved refreshments at one of the taverns will await.

All together! Few know the hiking trail from Castelrotto to San Michele. This autumn stroll from the center of Castelrotto to the village of San Michele along path no.10 leads through forests and traditional fences. Those who wish to make this trip in a larger group will have the chance to on October 19, 2011 when a guided tour will be organized.

Getting to San Osvaldo. From Siusi there is a beautiful path that leads in the hamlet of St. Oswald, passing by the Malenger Mill and the ruins of Castel Rovereto, from where you can reach  the tranquil and picturesque hamlet of San Osvaldo. Orchards and wild chestnut trees in this idyllic village accompany during the trip to San Osvaldo, very popular in the period of "Törggelen".
