Walk from Niederdorf to Aufkirchen with stunning panoramic views. The return route can alternatively pass through Toblach, adding scenic variety. Duration approx. 2–3 hours.

The walk begins in Niederdorf/Villabassa at Von Kurz Square. From there, it follows well-marked paths towards Aufkirchen/Santa Maria, an idyllic village with traditional houses and magnificent panoramic views. The highest point of the hike is at 1,300 meters, where you can take a break to enjoy the impressive view of the South Tyrolean mountain landscape.

There is now an alternative route for the way back: instead of returning directly to Niederdorf/Villabassa, the path leads via Toblach/Dobbiaco. Here you follow route no. 11B, which descends slightly and runs through forests and meadows. Toblach/Dobbiaco is ideal for a short stopover before returning to Niederdorf/Villabassa via the same route or by public transport. This variant extends the hike and offers additional scenic variety.
