Holiday apartment in Truden in the Nature Park: Hiking, Traditions and Culture

Truden in the Nature Park combines a historic village centre with meadows, forest edges, viewpoints and living traditions. When choosing a holiday apartment in Truden in the Nature Park, you can plan your stay around easy hiking experiences, regional history, local customs and special insights into village life.

Village Walks and Panoramic Views

The Truden village walk connects the historic village centre with meadows, forest edges and viewpoints. Along the way, you can enjoy views of the Trudner Horn, the Adige Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Cislon Alpine pasture circuit near Truden is also suitable for an easy panoramic tour. It leads along beautiful forest paths and alpine meadows and offers magnificent views of the mountains of South Tyrol.

From the village centre of Trodena, trail no. 1 leads towards Malga Cislon and the Calcara, which lies approximately halfway along the route. The Truden village walk can be reached by train to Neumarkt-Tramin and then by regular bus connections to Truden. This connection is useful for guests who do not want to plan their excursions exclusively by car.

Traditions, Faith and Regional Experiences

The parish of St. Blasius Truden looks back on a long history and a living faith. It shapes religious life in the village and regularly invites people to services and events. The Truden Almabtrieb cattle drive is also part of the local annual cycle: this annual traditional custom reflects local culture and tradition and remains an important event in the farming year.

At the bread-baking day in the Trudner Horn Nature Park House, visitors bake typical South Tyrolean bread together in the traditional way in a traditional oven and then taste it while it is still warm. The Kneipp facility in Truden offers a different experience, with water basins for walking barefoot in a peaceful, natural setting. The Kneipp facility is closed during the winter months.

At the Monte Corno visitor centre in the municipality of Trodena, within the nature park, a restored and once again functioning hoist mill is housed in a former mill building that is over 120 years old. The Calcara near Trodena was used to produce lime from limestone. Both sites reveal different chapters of the region’s working and everyday history.

Peaks and Museums in the Surrounding Area

The peaks of Monte Kalmegg, Monte Tolargo and Monte Corno are located in the immediate vicinity of Trodena. Sasso del Gazzo is a peak in the area around Trodena. For cultural excursions farther afield in the wider region, Castel Firmiano, Latemar Art and Museion are available as museums to visit. Castello Boymont is represented there as a castle. The possible programme therefore extends from the village walk to regional cultural destinations, without mixing up the different geographical connections.
