    The Poppensand scree field is an exciting natural highlight in the Stodertal Valley, perfect as a finale or contrast to the alpine rock world of the Dolomitensteig trail – a broad, bright scree field at approximately 1,300 meters above sea level, officially called Poppensand. Formed from rockfalls of the surrounding cliffs between Almkogel and Sneslitz, the area resembles an alpine scree desert – barren, vast, and impressive.

      Long, impressive sand ditch at the end of the Dolomitensteig.

        At the end of May, many flowers bloom here, even lady's slippers (orchids)
