Indescribably beautiful. A natural experience. The drive to the Enzianhütte parking lot alone is breathtaking.

Also recommended for dogs. Plenty of water is available.

Be sure to stop at the Zufallhütte.

Over thousands of years, the Plima Gorge has cut deep into the rock, polishing almost vertical flanks and creating a narrow, impressive gorge at the foot of the Cevedale with its icy water. Today we were able to experience this unique natural spectacle. A great hike with a rest in the Zufall Hut for explorers of all ages.

Plimaschlucht, a real hiking highlight in Vinschgau.
Alternatively, there is the glacier nature trail, + 2 hours and + 300 m in altitude.
At the weekend, you should either arrive very early by car or, better (like us), by taking the free bus. Limited parking space.
