This isn’t your everyday walking path. The path around the disposal site itself makes for a varied and interesting walk. Enjoy the natural beauty of the Padaster valley and observe the construction works and the loads of spoil being moved on enclosed conveyor belts on the valley floor. On themed panels along the circular route you can learn interesting facts about the Brenner Base Tunnel project, for example about the diversion of the Padasterbach stream during the construction work or the water protection measures in the BBT project. The circular trail leads alternately along forest paths and narrower trails along woods and meadows, as well as through a 470 m long tunnel through which drinking water flows; the lighting in the tunnel switches on automatically when you walk through it. The steel stairs and viewing platforms specially built to make the circular route accessible are a fun part of the experience. Look out to the west for the prominent mountain known as “Habicht”!
