Three Peaks and the Sexten sundial, Dreischusterspitze and Paternkofel: These and other impressive peaks are shaping the landscape of Nature Park Three Peaks, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites.

The eponymous Three Peaks are, along with Schlern, the most popular symbolic peaks of South Tyrol and of course just as the Sexten sundial (with Neuner, Zehner/Sextner Rotwand, Elfer, Zwölfer and Einser) a place of longing for climbers. But Nature Park Three Peaks has a lot more to offer.

Open-air museums

During the First World War, the frontline ran across the Dolomites. The soldiers had to create paths and fortifications and live in the mountains under the most inhospitable conditions. The Alpinisteig path dates back to this time. The project Bellum Aquilarum offers guided tours through the outdoor museum Rotwand and barrier Mitterberg and organizes exhibitions on the theme. Also, when hiking to Monte Piana, you will get interesting insights into the mountain war in the Dolomites.
