We did a portion of the Famous Chestnut trail (Keschtenweg) starting in Velturno at the church and walking towards Klausen. The walk is lovely passing through dozens of apple orchards on the hills with Dolomite views, and along small villages and homes, some of which were inns. There were also some vineyards. It was October and the apples were being harvested in several locations. We did an out and back walk and when we got back to Velturno there was an annual festival at the Velturno Castle museum with live music and classic Bavarian food for purchase, with of course - roasted chestnuts. read more
