Hiking in "the Grand Canyon of Italy's beautiful South Tyrol"

The Bletterbach-Canyon in South Tyrol's south is an exciting walk: 250 million years of earth history are waiting to be discovered on this trail through the adventurous natural monument.

Fascinating Bletterbach-Canyon: the little Bletterbach, in the 437 yards deep and 5 miles long gorge, has worked itself persistently over 15000 years through the rock layers and exposed 250 million years of earth history. The in this way created canyon presents an active journey through time to dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles: millions-of-years-old stones, dinosaur tracks, well-preserved impressions of plants, numerous food- and digging-tracks as well as marine deposits, such as mussels, snails and cephalopods, that have lived millions of years ago in the tropical ocean of the Dolomites, whet the appetite to witness the turbulent history of the earth.

Hiking where the Dinosaurs lived! The Geo-Road, the main trail of the Geoparc, leads visitors right through the gorge. 16 information boards provide the hiker with the most interesting evidence of earth history, such as charred plants and animals, tracks of dinosaurs, and mined metals in the mining shafts. The rock layers of the Bletterbach-gorge, which belongs to the 'UNESCO World Natural Heritage "Dolomites"', are extraordinarily intact. The water has exposed layer by layer, and over time eroded the incomprehensible amount of ten billion tons of stone. Those, who desire to continue walking on the tracks of dinosaurs, will have the choice between seven further different adventure trails through the Geoparc. The panoramic map Bletterbach-Weihorn is recommended for these tours, or the hiking map of the Tourism Club Aldein-Radein at a scale of 1:25.000. Both are available at the Visitor Center Bletterbach, the Tourism Club Aldein-Radein, and also at some stores in Aldein.
