Circular path through the pine forest

It doesn't always have to be a summit - the newly constructed stone pine trail at Speikboden is built up as a circular route, and leads through idyllic forests at over 2000m.

The cable car brings you up to Speikboden. The first part of the path runs comfortably up to the chairlift Sonnklar and directly passing the children's zoo. There you will find a planing station, which thematically sets the mood for the circular hike through the old stone pine forest.

Along the route on the wide hiking trail, several eye-catchers await the guests: A child`s figure from Ahrntal valley, which is saved from oblivion, stimulates everybody's fantasy.

After about 100 meters of ascent, you reach the viewpoint Hühnerspiel, which promises a magnificent view of the Ahrntal valley. Going on a short descent, you will reach the mountain lake Trejer, where a footbridge circles the water. The hut Trejer is five minutes away and invites you to stop for a bite to eat: Anyone who loves South Tyrolean cuisine is in the right place. A forest road brings you back to the mountain station. The cozy hut is also accessible via the forest path even with a baby buggy.

Family Speikboden

Planing station

The intense smell of stone pine can be experienced particularly well: freshly planed stone pine chips can be taken home in a pillow.

Stone pine forest

During a comfortable walk through the forest, numerous plants and animals can be visited. To avoid disturbing the foresters, it is important to be quiet. With a little bit of luck, you can see a squirrel jumping from tree to tree.

Wöüwa

The child fright figure named "Wöüba" was invented by people in Ahrntal valley to teach children with scary stories of bad deeds. Maybe you will see him along the path...

Viewing point Hühnerspiel

The viewing platform "Hühnerspiel" offers a fantastic view of the surroundig mountains of the Ahrntal valley. Although you are not standig on a peak, you will feel free and very close to the sky...

Around the high moor

In summer 2021, a wooden pier was built at the lake Trejer, in order to bring the visitors very close to the water. Immediately noticeable is the handmade wooden fence that surrounds the lake. The construction of this so-called "spelten fence" uses a special technique that does not require any nails.

Resting area

Near the lake there is a beautiful wooden fountain and a bench where you can enjoy a comfortable rest. Take a break in nature with fresh mountain air.

Hut Trejer Alm

The various huts at Speikboden are responsible for the well-being of all guests, including the Trejer Alm. There will be served traditional dishes and local drinks. Before returning to the valley, you have to taste a self made pine tree shot.

Old craftsmanship newly staged
Spelt fence

These days, an extremely extraordinary fence is being built around the idyllic lake Trejer, near the station "Speikboden Alm".

The so-called "Speltenzaun" (spelt fence) makes itself distinct by its woven branches. This braiding makes it possible to avoid the use of nails or screws, because the various wooden elements stabilise each other.
