Explore the Dolomites region Kronplatz in the summer
Visit St. Lorenzen and its surroundings
The Dolomites Region Kronplatz has a wide offer of activities for nature and sports enthusiasts.
Walks and Hikes - The Legend Trail in St. Lorenzen
A family-friendly circular trail is the 3,5 km long Legend Trail in St. Lorenzen. The starting point is only 300m from Gasthof Sonne near the old train station and it tells a few stories about the village.
On the trail of the ancient Romans
What do you think about a walk on a circular trail with a museum visit afterward? The Archeological Panoramic Trail gives a good insight into the archaeological sites from the Bronze and Iron Ages, the Roman times until the Late Antiquity. Afterward, you can improve your knowledge in the archaeological Museum Mansio Sebatum with a focus on Roman times.
Take a fresh dip!
During summer you can take a swim in the outdoor swimming pool or natural lakes. Those who love swimming amid nature can cool off in the natural swimming pond in Gais or the Issinger Weiher pond. Those who prefer to swim in a pool will have a lot of fun in the outdoor pools of Welsberg, Bruneck, Olang, or Cron4 in Reischach.
Discover the mountains and valleys by bike
During the warm months, the wide network of cycling paths and mountain bike routes will invite you to take a picturesque tour through the Pustertal. An easy cycling tour for the whole family runs from Bruneck to Innichen, while the various routes up and down the Kronplatz are rather sweaty. And it's not just the cycle network that is excellent - but also the public transport connections. You can take your bike with you on buses and trains and thus reach your starting point car-free or simply ride back again.
Fit and active - Nordic Walking
If you are a Nordic walking fan don’t miss the big Nordic Walking Parc which extends from Pfalzen above Bruneck until Rasen. With over 275 km marked Nordic Walking Route the Nature Fitness Park Kronplatz-Dolomiti offers different tours with every difficulty and high-level difference.

The breathtaking natural landscape makes every round of golf an unforgettable experience.
