Perdonig and Gaid are the mountain hamlets belonging to the municipality of Eppan with its otherwise mediterranean influences. Hiking here offers an excellent insight into mountain farming.
The hiking trail leads past Perdonig Church, the tiny school and the inn Wieser. Trail No. 8 soon branches off to the right from the forest track (possible trip to the Wolfsgrube) and leads down to the access road to Gaid | Eppan, which is reached in ¾ hour. With the church, inn, a fewscattered mountain farms, grazing sheep or cows, Gaid | Eppan is in an idyllic location below theimpressive, almost overwhelming rock face of the Gantkofel. There is an uncluttered view to the east with Bozen below and the Schlern, Rosengarten, Latemar, Weiss- andSchwarzhorn mountains above. The access road followed en route to Gaid is the best way back.Again and again there are beautiful views and at the same time glimpses of the simple, rural life.
