During the First World War, Sexten had to be evacuated due to its location directly on the Dolomites front. A few summers later, farmers were allowed to return to tend to their fields and acres. So that they could celebrate Holy Mass in secret, the Waldkapelle (forest chapel) was built near the "Holza Schluichte". Today, the Besinnungsweg (meditation path) leads to this magical place of power in the heart of the Sextner forests.
  • Easy theme trail with stations to rest
  • Past the "Schalensteine" (cup-marked stones), the first traces of settlement in Sexten
  • The Waldkapelle as a place for quiet reflection
