Holiday apartment in Steinegg – Earth pyramids, trails and the Star Trail

Steinegg is the right destination for you if you want your holiday to combine experiences in nature, local history and a variety of discoveries. Unusual clay formations, trails through different landscapes, traces of history and a unique art installation await you here as separate experiences. When choosing your holiday apartment in Steinegg, you can therefore consider whether you would like to spend your days mainly hiking, taking in cultural impressions, cycling or enjoying relaxing breaks.

Nature experiences between forests, meadows and earth pyramids

The Pyramid Path in Steinegg/Collepietra is a varied circular hiking trail leading to the impressive earth pyramids. Its route passes through dense forests, across gentle meadows and through a gorge. Along the way, the Pyramid Path offers views of the Schlern and Rosengarten mountains. The earth pyramids themselves are clay formations shaped by erosion over thousands of years. This gives the hike a distinctive landscape character: the trail combines changing terrain with a natural phenomenon whose origins date far back into the past.

Choose a holiday apartment in Steinegg to suit your day

For a longer day of hiking, the Rittersteig from Steinegg/Collepietra to Kardaun/Cardano is available. It is 7.8 kilometres long and takes around 2 hours and 45 minutes. Those who would like to explore the surrounding area by bicycle can take the Pyramids Tour, a cycle route of moderate difficulty. It leads mostly along paved roads and includes a very steep descent. The different route lengths, ways of getting around and landscape impressions help you tailor your accommodation choice to your preferred daily rhythm – regardless of whether you prefer a holiday apartment or a holiday home.

History and farming traditions

The Museo Collepietra provides an overview of local history and customs, including the native flora, fauna and minerals. Through its exhibits, it conveys the rural way of life with its religious roots, customs and artisanal traditions, as well as the close relationship between the ancestors and nature. The museum is therefore aimed at everyone who wants not only to look at the landscape but also to understand the world of life connected with it.

Another trace of history leads to Steinegg Castle. It was first mentioned in 1231 and destroyed in the first half of the 15th century. Its architectural features suggest that the castle served exclusively for defence. The ruins of Steinegg Castle are about a 20-minute walk from the centre of Steinegg village. The approximate walking time gives you a concrete indication of how to incorporate this historic site into your stay, without reducing its history to a mere date.

Stars in the village centre and a break at the outdoor pool

The Mini Star Trail in Steinegg is a 105-metre-long art installation and, at the same time, a themed trail in the village centre featuring 11 selected stars. At its stations, comparisons of the sizes of the stars and the Sun are used to illustrate the dimensions of the stars. This makes the short trail a unique discovery combining art, the village centre and astronomical concepts.

Collepietra outdoor pool has a sunbathing lawn for relaxing and a snack bar. Together with the trails, museum, castle ruins and Mini Star Trail, it creates a versatile setting for planning your days in Steinegg: active routes can be combined with observing nature, culture and a relaxing break. If you are looking for accommodation, it is therefore best to decide first which of these aspects should define your stay and which combination of activity, history and relaxation suits you.
