Mining museum Kornkasten/ Steinhaus
The so-called granary in the Stone House used to be the food storage for the Ahrntal mine. Even today, the reddish color of the building's facade reminds us of copper mining. Today, the granary is an ideal addition to a visit to the exhibition mine in Prettau and, in addition to the history of Ahrntal copper mining, tells a great deal about the living conditions, customs, special privileges, etc. of the miners of that time.

Speikboden Climbing Park
10 meters high or 25 meters high? In the Drittsond climbing park at Speikboden, you will find about 40 routes in classes 5a to 8c. And then there are views of the majestic three-thousand-meter peaks of the Rieserferner Group. The parking lot of the climbing garden is located shortly before the Speikboden valley station in Sand in Taufers.
Combine the climbing park with another experience: the Fly-Line at the Reinbach waterfalls in Sand in Taufers. Float down 850 meters between the trees in a controlled manner. The starting point is the Waterfall trail located 100 m after the Gasthof Toblhof. After the five-minute fly-line ride you will reach the starting point in about 30 minutes. More information
Lake Braies
Lake Braies is a true natural paradise in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park. The 1.2-kilometer-long, legendary mountain lake at an altitude of 1.469 meters is said to have once offered access to the underworld.
In summer, Lake Braies can be reached by shuttle bus or bus from Schmieden from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Outside this time you can also reach the Lake by car via the road from Schmieden. Of course, a visit to Lake Braies can also be combined with a hike, e.g. you can reach the probably most beautiful mountain lake of South Tyrol on the hiking trail no. 1 from Schmieden in approx. 1.5 h.
Rowboats can be hired at Lake Braies from June to September.
Three peaks
The striking rock formations of the Three Peaks are the landmark of the Dolomite mountains and, together with other Dolomite peaks, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Große Zinne stretches up to 2,999 meters, the Westliche Zinne 2,973 meters and even the Small Zinne has an impressive 2,857 meters. In summer you can reach the Three Peaks from Misurina via a toll road that leads to the Auronzo Hut (Refugio Auronzo) at 2,333 meters.
There you can walk around the mountain massif on a 10 km long tour: from the Auronzo lodge via the Lavaredo lodge to the Paternsattel and up to the Dreizinnen hut. Then to the large karst plateau of the Langenalpe with the beautiful merlons on the north side of the Drei Zinnen. On the west side of the monoliths, the route continues via the Forcella del Col de Mezo saddle back to the Auornzo hut. Plan to walk for 3.5 hours.
The entire splendor of the steep northern walls of the Three Peaks can be admired from afar from the Three Peaks View in the Höhlenstein Valley near Dobbiaco - about 16 kilometers by car from the Auronzo lodge.
Tip for families: the Three Peaks Nature Park House in Dobbiaco.
