On the Merano High Mountain Trail (trail n° 24), the entire Texel Group Nature Park can be circumnavigated in a hiking tour of four to six days. The best time to hike the Merano High Mountain Trail (trail n° 24) is: The northern part is a summer tour, walkable from the end of June to the beginning of October (depending on snow conditions). The southern and eastern sections can often be walked all year round and are suitable for one-day tours. The numerous typical South Tyrolean mountain inns and refuges inviting you to rest and have a snack, the varied world of peaks and the magnificent mountain lake landscape of the Spronserseen lakes make the Merano High Mountain Trail in the Texel Group Nature Park a unique hiking area!

Abwechslungsreiche Wanderung durch eine traumhafte Landschaft. Bergwandererfahrung ist nicht notwendig, aber festes Schuhwerk, Trittsicherheit, Schwindelfreiheit und eine gewisse Grundkondition. Es geht ganz schön bergauf und bergab.
