The Etsch Trail is accessible right above Resia/Reschen and has its name of the second longest river of Italy, which rises right next door. As the extention of the Bunker Trail, this easy trail leads you down to the village Resia and to the Resia Lake. After doing this trail you want to have more It is on the same technic-level as the Bunker-Trail.

###

Der Etsch Trail ist gleich oberhalb von Reschen zu erreichen und nach dem zweitlängsten Fluss Italiens benannt, welcher gleich nebenan entspringt. Als Fortsetzung des Bunker Trails führt der leichte und flowige Etsch Trail runter ins Dorf Reschen und an den Reschensee. Nach diesem Trail hast du Lust auf mehr! Der Trail ist vom (technisch notwenigen) Anspruch und Trailbau sehr ähnlich wie der Bunker-Trail.

Access Info
