Nature Park Trudner Horn

Woods, moors, meadows and moss – the Nature Park Trudner Horn offers no impressive Alpine peaks, but an incredible variety of animals and plants. And due to the short winter, you can explore them almost all year round during fantastic hikes.

Nature hotels in South Tyrol

The Nature Park Trudner Horn all in the south of South Tyrol is the most biodiverse nature park in South Tyrol. It embraces a forested mountain ridge between the valleys of Etschtal and Cembra, consisting of brownish red quartz porphyry and light dolomitic limestone with very particular contrasts. The peak of Mt. Trudner Horn (1,781 m) lies slightly behind the border of the nature park and of the province in Trentino.

Biodiversity

The nature reserve covers a surface of 6,851 ha and parts of the municipal areas of Altrei, Truden, Neumarkt, Montan and Salurn. The range of different forests is impressive – from sub-Mediterranean bush forests to sub-Alpine spruce forests. Great for flower lovers: the nature park is home for about 60 orchid types. The flora and fauna of the ecologically valuable high moors is exciting as well: Sundews and butterworts are native carnivorous plants here, catching and digesting insects and surviving on nutrient-poor soils as well.
