The Adolf Munkel Trail, which runs below the imposing north faces of the Odle/Geisler Mountains, is one of the most spectacular trails in the Dolomites. We’ll be experiencing a variety of plant life: at Tschantschenon Stream, in the dwarf shrub heath along the Adolf Munkel Trail, on the alpine meadows, and in the shady Black Forest. Großgrub is an important headwater. This trail inspires us to speak about the importance of the forests and springs for the Earth as a whole.
