From Toblach, you can get to the Italian Dolomites and Cortina d’Ampezzo via the narrow and about 15 km long Höhlensteintal Valley. Right in this valley, there is the turquoise blue Lake Toblach, for a welcome refreshment in summer and wonderful walks in winter, as well as the picturesque Lake Dürrensee.
Mountain bikers and cyclists as well will feel like in paradise in the environs of Toblach. Pustertal cycle path goes via Bruneck to Eisacktal on one hand, and to the Austrian city of Lienz on the other hand. As is goes slightly downhill on both sides and as the way back can be done by train, the cycle path is particularly popular with families.
