From San Floriano at Egna the Sentiero di Albrecht Dürer takes to the earth pyramids of Segonzano in the Cembra valley
The legendary Sentiero del Dürer is a long-distance hiking trail, starts from the Klösterle near San Floriano in South Tyrol and leads through the forests and mountains up to the earth pyramids near Segonzano in the Valle di Cembra valley. It is about 28 km long and for the entire path, the estimated walking time is about 8-9 hours. But don't worry about the length: the path is divided into various sections of different difficulty levels, which means that you can choose for yourself where to start and stop the trail.
Description of the whole Sentiero del Dürer / Dürerweg:
- Starting point is the Klösterle at San Floriano near Laghetti/Egna, South Tyrol
- About 2 km after the Piazza of Laghetti (square) with its fountain and the judgement stone, you reach the deep gorge of the Laukasbach stream, which can be traversed on the so-called "Roman bridge".
- it proceeds to Pochi di Salorno and the Passo Sauch (915 m) to the Lago Santo, at 1,200 m a.s.l. down to Cembra and Faver and past the Castello di Segonzano to the earth pyramids of Segonzano.
Please note: the famous artist Albrecht Dürer completed the whole itinerary (27,9 km) and the wonderful watercolour paintings he created during this hike are the proof of it.
