From Chiusa we hike towards Bronzolo Castle with its old passages and steps and from there to the impressive Monastero di Sabiona, which is very worth to be visited. On our way to Velturno we pass the Pardell farms with their beautiful meadows, vineyards and chestnut forests.
Crossing the hamlet of Pedratz, we finally reach the centre of Velturno. We pass Velturno castle at its left side and continue our hiking tour through a beautiful meadow landscape towards north. After about 3 km we reach the hamlet Teceligna with its two churches. The last section of this fourth stage of the chestnut trail leads to Monte Ponente and Pinzago until it ends under the S. Cyrillo church hill near the village of Tiles.
From here, we can either hike to Varna (Vahrn) or into the centre of Bressanone (Brixen). On the 60 km long chestnut trail we hiked from Roncolo Castle near Bolzano to Varna near Bressanone, explored a beautiful and varied landscape with a wonderful Dolomites panorama and enjoyed some delicious local dishes on our way. The Chestnut Trail is a real highlight in autumn!
