Bolzano is the ideal starting point for walks and hikes in the environment of the city. Along the hills above the city winds a crown of pathways bordered by typically Mediterranean vegetation. The "Guntschna- and the Oswaldpromenade" are two pearls: terraces above the city lined with palm trees, magnolias, cedars, agaves and laurel.
Other walking paths bring you to the different castles of the town.

Passeggiate del Lungotalvera - Wassermauerpromenade
The promenade along the rivers Talvera  and Isarco is like a green oasis in the middle of the town. Here you can spend some relaxing time or choose to do or watch some sports: football, volleybal, baseball. Along the promenade there are also some playing areas for children

La Passeggiata del Guncina - Guntschnapromenade
The Guntschnapromenade goes up in serpentines starting from Gries.  It is dedicated to the Duke Heinrich from Habsburg and was one of the famous parts of the health resort since the middle of the 19th Century.  Today it is a nice walking path with a beautiful view of the town with the "Rosengarten" as background.

La Passeggiata di Sant'Osvaldo - Oswaldpromenade
The Oswaldpromenade goes from St. Anton to St. Magdalena bordering the numerous vineyards on the hills of the town. The traditional red vine "St. Magdalena" is produced in this area.


Passeggiata del Virgolo - Virglpromenade
The walking path at the feet of the Colle mountain begins near the castle "Haselburg" in the south of Bolzano. It connects the castle with the "Virgl", one of the first parts of the town to be inhabited in prehistoric times. Two interesting churches can be found there: the Romanic Church of St. Vigil and the Baroque Kalvarien-Church.
