King Laurin hike with hiking guide
We take the bus from Welschnofen | Nova Levante to the Paolina valley station and then the chairlift up to the Paolina hut. From there we hike with our hiking guide Helga under the rocky outcrops of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio on hiking trails [552], [9] and [549] (Hirzelsteig) to the Bronze Eagle, the monument to the builder of the Dolomite Road. Descent on trail [548] to the Karerpass | Passo Costalunga, from there we return to Welschnofen | Nova Levante by bus. By arrangement, we can have a late lunch in a mountain hut or enjoy the sandwiches we have brought with us sitting on an Alpine meadow with a view of the great Dolomite peaks in front of us.
A colourful alpine flora accompanies us along the way, crystallised fossils and imprints of Claraia shells can be found in the rock structure of the "Werfen" strata. We come across ancient stone pine trees and learn about their history. On the way we hear the legends of King Laurin and the Latemar dolls and stories about empress Sisi.
In early summer, it is possible to encounter marmots and hear their shrill warning whistles. On the Hirzel/Masarè path we stand directly below the ascent to the Vajolonpass | Passo Vajolon and the huge Rotwand | Croda Vael, we enjoy the panoramic view of the Latemar, Weißhorn | Corno Bianco and Schwarzhorn | Corno Nero, the Brenta-Adamello-Ortler group and the Austrian Ötztal Alps.
