Tirolo or Dorf Tirol
in German language has never been in my travel plans even if it is well known
in Italy for some of its food items. I came across this village located
in the north of Italy, when I was driven there by my boyfriend in one of my
birthdays. People, who know me well, know also that I love the Trentino
alto Adige region, so whenever I find myself there I just feel happy, whatever
the town is.
Yes that is my favourite region!!!I haven’t travelled all around
Italy but Trentino gives me a sense of peacefulness and this reason is much
enough to return back there on all occasions. Tirolo/Dorf Tirol, surprised me a
lot in fact, it offered more than what I could expect: it was an ideal starting
point for hiking holidays; it had plenty of panoramic trails. We tried the Hans
Falkner Weg trail, an easy one overlooking the entire valley with its
mountains, the Tyrol Castle and the vineyards. It led us to the Castel. The
month of August painted the surroundings in bright green colours making it
really fabulous.
Apart from the hiking
route, the Falkner Weg trail had much more to offer: along the way there were
restaurants, pubs, typical houses and viewpoints and that could satisfy those
who were not particularly in love with hiking or walking. Accommodations
were not missing of course!!! There was a huge parking area just in front of
the starting point and the trail itself, not longer than 4 or 5 km (means not
more than 40 or 50 minutes) was very well maintained with many relaxing
areas and viewpoints. I highly recommend this trail for all ages, for
families with children, for the ones short in time and it could be done also
with wheel chair. No disappointments.
The good time to hike this place could sound
from May to August for good weather conditions; but I think the best ever goes
from September to October for fewer crowds and of course the harvest. Which
could be even more interesting is catching the scenery during the fall season
when the vineyards turn into the red shade. Often, however, those months might
not correspond to the vacation time available to you!.
Scenic and serene, Tirolo looks so quaint and charming, wrapped in an old world charm. I'd have preferred had you captioned the images so that one could make out what your take is on that image :) Never the less, thanks for managing visually appealing sojourn.
ReplyDeleteTirolo is definitely my kind of place. Such serenity and charm! Would love to take a hike with my girlfriends and have those famous food items and click tons of pics. Love the images ♡
ReplyDeleteIt's remarkable how we tend to think of paradise islands or stunning beaches ans also deserts, when it comes to draem destinations. Whether it's Germany, Austria, Switzerland,the Alps in general and North Italy,Tirolo in particular. Look what a stunning place. The views are awesome. I am original from Germany, I have also been to Austria, travelled all through Switzerland to Italy, still I always wanted to live a life in the sun and near the beach, and funny eough now I am seeing and appreciating the beauty of 'home'. Home in the emaning of Germany, not Tirolo :) Your images are awesome! The food in Tirolo not to forget!!
ReplyDeleteThe view is amazing! I love making walks and enjoying the beautiful view. I've been to Austria, France and Andorra to hike and I really loved it. It's so stunning! This trail looks amazing. I would definitely want to try it out.
