Follow in the footsteps of Albrecht Dürer and enjoy the varied landscape between Laag, Buchholz and Salurn. The Laukusbach Gorge and historic paths make this hike a special experience.

In 1494, the famous German artist Albrecht Dürer travelled for the first time to Italy. His final destination was Venice. Because of the flooded Adige valley, he had to bypass from the cloister St. Florian in Egna/Neumarkt to Buchholz/Pochi. He came across the gill of the river Lakus and passed the Roman's bridge ("Römerbrücke"). After Buchholz/Pochi, he arrived at the Sauch pass. This road brought him to the Lago Santo Lake, where he descended to Cembra, Faver and the Segonzano Castle. During his stay in this castle, he created a few of his most important watercolors.

A Part of the path is accessible today.

 

The hike partly follows narrow paths, forest trails and historic routes. Some sections may become slippery in wet conditions. Wear sturdy footwear and stay on marked trails.
Sturdy hiking boots with good grip, weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection, sufficient water and hiking poles if needed. For longer hikes, a small snack is recommended.
A section of Albrecht Dürer’s historic journey to Italy leads through Laukusbach Gorge, the Roman Bridge and from Laag to Buchholz.
Public parking is available at Klösterle St. Florian in Laag or near the respective starting point of the hike. For the return from Salurn, public transport can be used.

Freeway A22, exit Egna/Ora, then direction Egna and continue to Laghetti/Laag

 

 

Getting to the starting point of the tour or point of interest by public transport is easy and convenient.

Starting from the Cloister St. Florian, the hiking path number 8 at the foot of the "Madruttwand" (1.507m) near the tennis court leads to the southern part of Laag/Laghetti. Following then hiking path number 7, the way leads to the "Rollhütt" cottage. Following the cobblestone road to the huge stone bridge, you leave the hiking path number 7, walking through the field and finally arriving in Buchholz/Pochi. Passing the "Speckstube Perkeo", the hiking path number 8 (partly on the street and partly on the old road) leads to Salurn/Salorno (45 minutes from Buchholz/Pochi). In Buchholz/Pochi you can find the "garden of yearning" by Sieglinde Tatz-Borgogno. The garden showcases over 200 bronze and marble figures and installations by this sculptor set in a small deciduous wood.

If you prefer to do a shorter circular hike via Garbe to Laag and back to Klösterle, you have to leave the Dürerweg just before the village of Buchholz and follow trail no. 3 (Erler-Klamm Weg) through the sculpture garden. At the next junction, you have to turn onto trail no. 3A (towards Ruländerhof and Klammhof), which leads to Garbe. From there, you have to take trail no. 5 back to Laag.
Duration of the abbrevation: 3,5 h.
Abbrevation lenght: 11735 m.
Altitude: 550 m.

If you prefer you can start the Dürer path also in Laghetti instead of the Cloister St. Florian.
