Texelgruppe Nature Park is the largest of the seven
natural parks in South Tyrol. The diversity of flora and fauna make the Texelgruppe particularly interesting. The
Merano High Mountain Trail is a popular
hiking tour between mountain huts set in the natural park over 90km, circling the entire Texelgruppe above Naturno/Naturns. The highest point en route is almost 3,000 m a.s.l. on the Eisjöchl ridge.
The Texelgruppe Nature Park borders Naturno and runs along the main Alpine ridges. Hikers can experience the Texelgruppe mountain range on a smaller scale at the
Naturno Visitor Center.
