Walk on the Albrecht Dürer Path

From San Floriano at Egna the Sentiero di Albrecht Dürer takes to the earth pyramids of Segonzano in the Cembra valley

The legendary Sentiero del Dürer is a long-distance hiking trail, starting from the Klösterle near San Floriano in South Tyrol and leading through the forests and mountains up to the earth pyramids near Segonzano in the Valle di Cembra. It is about 28 km long and it requires about 8-9 hours of walking time to be completed. But don't worry about the length: the path is split into various sections of varying difficulty levels, meaning that you can choose for yourself where to start and stop the trail.

Description of the whole Sentiero del Dürer / Dürerweg:

  • Starting point is the Klösterle in the hamlet of San Floriano near Laghetti/Egna, in South Tyrol
  • About 2 km after the Piazza of Laghetti (square) with its fountain and the judgement stone, you reach the deep gorge of the Laukasbach stream, which can be crossed on the so-called "Roman bridge".
  • it proceeds to Pochi di Salorno and the Passo Sauch (915 m) to Lago Santo, at 1,200 m a.s.l. down to Cembra and Faver and past Castello di Segonzano to the earth pyramids of Segonzano.

Please note: the famous artist Albrecht Dürer completed the whole itinerary (27,9 km) and the wonderful watercolour paintings he created along the way are the proof of it.
