Hiking
Valley entrance raised by 78 meters
The relatively unknown valley near Steinach is ten kilometers long. Only the foremost part of the Padaster valley should be affected. At the entrance to the valley, the terrain is raised by 78 meters and then slowly rises backwards.

Hiking
Tunnel from the tunnel directly to the landfill
In order to keep the environmental impact as low as possible, a separate tunnel is being built for transport. The 700 meter long Padaster tunnel leads directly from the Brenner base tunnel to the landfill. Conveyor belts and trucks bring the material up from inside the mountain.
