Easy family hike from Niederdorf along the Rienz river to the mini zoo and Bad Maistatt. Enjoy nature, animals, and history — perfect for all ages.

The walk begins in the center of Villabassa, heading toward the Spitalkirche (Church). From there, you follow Rienzstraße, which runs alongside the river, accompanied by the soothing sound of flowing water.

After a short and pleasant walk, you reach the small and well-kept mini zoo at "Camping Olympia", where various animals can be observed up close – a special highlight, especially for families with children.

After crossing the main road and a brief uphill section, you are rewarded with a view of the historic Maistatt Bath. This charming building reflects the region’s long tradition of healing springs. Just behind it, you’ll find a drinking fountain still in use today – a great spot to pause and refresh.

The return path leads gently downhill, taking you back to the village through open fields and peaceful natural surroundings. This circular route is perfect for exploring the area at a relaxed pace, with a mix of nature, animals, and local history.
