Cultural border - Border culture
The path allows you to get to know the landscape and cultural features of the area around Proves in Val d'Ultimo on the border between South Tyrol and Trentino. Not only different languages and cultures but also different architectural structures, different woods, different types of rocks, naturalistic and geological contrasts.
The route is designed with the intent to let the visitor know the peculiarities of landscape and culture of this territory, unique because it is located on the border between two very different ethnic groups. Along the 5 km route there are 14 thematic panels that illustrate the peculiarities of the area: traces of mining, examples of energy production, information on the medicinal properties of native plants and examples of a spontaneous orchid and a mill.

For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.Roadbook
The route starts from the "Hofmahd" car park (located at the entrance of the tunnel that connects Val di Non to Val d'Ultimo) and runs between Malga di Cloz, Malga di Revò (reachable by following the flat forest road n. 8) and Malga Kessel (from Malga di Revò trail n. 11 and 133), all inserted in the upper Val di Non territory on the border between Trentino and Alto Adige.
From the Kessel Alm you can easily go down to the village of Proves following the signs no. 11 first and then no. 2a.
The educational trail is suitable for people of all ages and offers the possibility of stopping at the huts along the trail that offer excellent catering and reception services.
