Wurzer Hut

Accessibility of the Wurzer Hut
The Wurzer Alm can be reached on foot or by MTB both from Avelengo and from Merano 2000. From Hafling it is best to follow the well signposted hiking trail ? 2, which leads partly on old flagstone paths and narrow root paths through romantic larch forests. For the ascent, which leads over 500 meters in altitude, you should allow between 1.5 - 2 hours hiking time. From Merano 2000 via the long-distance hiking trail E5, which leads past the Merano Hut to the Kreuzjoch, from there descend in a westerly direction.

What awaits you at the Wurzer Alm:
Lots of animals! Lovingly cared for and hand-tamed, pigs, horses, peacocks, goats, roosters, peacocks, rabbits and cats live peacefully together right around the alp. And of course cows. 130 cows are entrusted by the Haflinger farmers to the alpine farmer Markus, the husband of the alpine farmer during the summer, in addition to 20 horses, which are under his careful care. One feels it directly, how it pulls Markus after the rush hours on the Alm again on its horse, in order to see with it on the surrounding pastures after the right!

The hut
Not for nothing was the Wurzer Alm awarded the most beautiful alpine hut in South Tyrol: A well-kept terrace with wide wooden tables and decorated with loving flowers, nestles against the back of the hut, while at the front comfortable deck chairs invite you to a short rest in the sun. Some steep steps lead to the parlors inside the hut itself. From here, the view glides over gentle woods and the green, lush meadows all around to the mountain range above the Adige Valley and the Texel Group. A small playground is available for children. There is a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere all day long.
