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.

From the lookout, the trail gently descends along the Castle Path, leading you directly to the historic Welsperg Castle. The castle exudes a romantic, knightly atmosphere and provides a wonderful opportunity to rest and soak in the special ambiance of the place.

This varied hike winds through forests and meadows, delighting with constantly changing, stunning views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Be sure to bring your own provisions to fully enjoy the tour at your leisure.
