Trudner Horn Nature Park

Trudner Horn Nature Park covers roughly 6,900 hectares and includes mountain ridges, deep forests, and various habitats at different elevations with diverse soil types. The landscape ranges from dense coniferous forests in lower areas to open meadows and rocky terrain at higher elevations.

The park was established in 1980 as a key step in South Tyrol's environmental protection efforts. This designation was meant to safeguard the mountain landscapes and their natural habitats from intensive development.

The five communities surrounding the park speak both German and Italian, and this linguistic mixture is part of everyday life in the villages and mountain meadows. Visitors encounter traditional mountain farming practices and pasture management that still shape how the land is used today.

The area is accessible from five different sides, with entry points in Aldein, Neumarkt, Altrei, Salorno sulla Strada del Vino, and Truden im Naturpark. Well-marked trails and hiking routes connect the various access points together.

The area contains rare acidic bog environments where specialized plants such as sundew and butterwort thrive. These boggy zones developed under specific climatic and geological conditions that are characteristic of this region.
