Legend hike in the Tschamin Valley with Venetian sawmill visit

An atmospheric hike along watercourses, forest paths, and historic cultural landscapes. Legendary places and the wild Tschamin Valley give this tour its distinctive character.

Tour description:
We start at the valley station of the Tiers cable car and follow the “Forest & Water” nature trail past the new power plant towards the Steger Sawmill. From there, we continue via Weißlahnbad in the direction of Tschetterloch, reaching the area known as Schwarzer Lettn. We then walk through the Tschamin Valley to Rechter Leger, where we cross the Tiers stream. Afterwards, we follow a forest road back to the Nature Park information centre at the Steger Sawmill.
At the end of the hike, we visit the Schlern–Rosengarten Nature Park information centre located at the Steger Sawmill. Unfortunately, the historic Venetian sawmill cannot currently be demonstrated due to damage caused by a severe storm. Nevertheless, the visit is well worthwhile: in the carefully restored sawmaster’s residence, visitors gain fascinating insights into traditional alpine craftsmanship, geology, as well as the flora and fauna of the nature park, with audio stations, a small cinema room, and interactive exhibition elements.
We then return to the cable car via the “Forest & Water” nature trail.
