We are talking about the Kronplatz Tourist Region, in the heart of Puster Valley in South Tyrol (Alto Adige).

Surrounded by the Fanes-Sennes-Prags, Puez-Geisler and Riesenferner-Ahrn nature reserves, three nature parks whose scenery is unparalleled await you. Vast expanses and enchanting side valleys, thick forests and vast alpine meadows, steep peaks and picturesque mountain plateaus, thunderous waterfalls and dreamy crystalline lakes: the fascinating alpine world of the Dolomites beckons you to embark on unforgettable activities along a myriad of well-marked hiking paths.

One exciting route appropriate for the entire family is the „Cascata Egger” path in Antholzertal Valley, a 23-minute walk down 0.7 km that starts in Antholz Mittertal (sports area) to then continue on to Eggerhöfen. After reaching the bridge, the route continues along the Egger stream until reaching the enchanting waterfall that will leave you in awe.

For those who would like a longer route, but still with a low degree of difficulty, after arriving at Masi Egger and taking the road to the right, continuing on for 45 minutes, you will arrive at the Klammbach waterfall under Eggerhöfe for a total distance of 1.7 km.

It is an easy route, and within everyone’s reach (even with a stroller), around the peak of Kronplatz, starting from the Concordia bell at the top. The circular route pays homage to a fabulous surrounding view: the Dolomites to the south and the main crest of the Alps to the north.
