From Niederdorf’s Church, stroll to the peaceful Annakapelle, ascend Eggerberg with stunning Dolomite views, then end at the enchanting Welsperg Castle.

The hike begins in the charming village center of Niederdorf, right next to the Spitalkirche (Church). From here, you ascend to the peaceful Annakapelle, a perfect spot for a brief moment of reflection. Continuing on, you follow Von-Kurz Street uphill to Eggerberg, where the surrounding landscape gradually unfolds before you.

Soon, you’ll reach the lookout tower, offering a spectacular view of the majestic Dolomites, the distinctive Cristallo, and the Pragser Dolomites — a breathtaking panorama for every hiker.
