Trail No. 12 leads from the village centre towards Missian | Eppan passing the gothic church tower of St. Pauls | Eppan along the way. Shortly before reaching Korb Castle there is a signpost for the“Three Castle Walking Tour” (Eppaner Burgenwanderweg), which the route now follows. Brushwood and beautiful views of the city of Bozen and the Dolomites enrich this pleasant hiking trail. After the short, slightly steep final climb, and after a total of two hours, the trail arrives at Hocheppan Castle,which is situated majestically on a mountain crag. The next part of the trail is somewhat more adventurous, but well signposted. Following a narrow, somewhat exposed path over porphyry rock you will then reach the Hocheppan valley gorge. Approximately 60 metres (200 ft) of secured metal steps will bring you to the other side of the gorge towards the ruins of Boymont Castle. After a short stretch in a southerly direction along the forest track (ignoring the branch to the right to Perdonig | Eppan), a signpost points downhill over loose rocks to a steep asphalt road. After a 10 minute ascent, you will arrive at the ruins of Boymont Castle which offer magnificent views. The return leg of the hike follows the little asphalt road downhill to the orchards and vineyards, where it rejoins the original path back to St. Pauls | Eppan. This hike becomes a slightly longer circular hike if you follow trail No. 8 / A from the ruins of Boymont Castle. This route will take you back to St. Pauls | Eppan the inn Kreuzstein.

Short variant: Start at Korb Castle and take the Castle Trail (Burgenwanderweg), continue as described above.

The ascent to the old railway road of the former Fleimstal railway; you tackle around 800 m elevation gain with no more than a 6% incline.

The railroad from Auer to Predazzo was built during WWI by Russian prisoners of war, to bring troupes and material from the Etschtal into the Fleimstal towards the front. After the war, the small railway transported predominantly wood and people, until it was shut down in the 1960s due to inadequate profitability. What remained was the perfectly built and developed railway line, which todays serves as a gravel path called ‘former Fleimstal railway’ or ‘ex ferrovia’. As railways could never overcome more than five to six percent incline, this line is today ideal for bikers: you overcome the elevation gain softly, and so the ascent is pure bliss.

At Kaltenbrunn, you have to leave the railway line and continue uphill for a short stretch on the road to Trodena/Truden. Cross onto the brief, steep, and partially surfaced ramp and continue uphill to the Cisloner Alm.

The downhill stretch on path number 1 requires good technical skills. The route proceeds partially on forest paths covered in leaves, coasting by a scenic post where you can enjoy a nice view across Lake Kaltern to the Mendel and Penegal. Get off the bike and push it for a bit, as the path is partially very steep with tight bends, before you reach smoother forest paths.

Above Egna/Neumarkt you will cross the train line and continue on wide paths into the medieval village of Egna with its historical city centre. Return to Kaltern via bike path – in the afternoon a stronger southern wind blows at times, which makes the ride easier.

Alternatives
