Through the soul of Texelgruppe
Waters shimmering under South Tyrol’s sky.
This high-alpine circuit links together the heart of the Texel Group: the five most scenic lakes above Merano. Beginning with a lift ride to Muthof, the trail ascends gently via Mutkopf and meanders across Oberkaser pastures. Hikers will traverse a mosaic of crystal-clear lakes, panoramic ridgelines, and rustic huts like Hochganghaus and Leiteralm before returning to the start. Expect visual poetry with every step.
