Caldaro Wine Trail (Weinweg Kaltern)
The Rottenburgerplatz car park is the starting point of the Caldaro Wine Trail. From here head right up Mendelstraße street, then turn left onto the Maria von Mörlweg. Follow this road until it ends, then turn left along the main road, then turn right and follow Europastraße street for a while and turn right onto the Barleiterweg. Follow the no. 12 markers on this trail to Kalterer See lake until arriving at the Barleiterhof farm. Continue following marker 12A to the S.

Turn left and walk along a portion of the main road until you reach a bus stop. Turn right here and follow the road down to the lake. At the car park, head left to the circular route along the lakeside (Seerundweg) on trail no. 3. Follow this trail past the Geier restaurant keeping to trail no. 3, which leads through vineyards back to the starting point in Caldaro. Alternatively, the Wine Trail can also be done by heading to the village of Pianizza di Sopra/Oberplanitzing.
