Tips

The Stoarnene Mandln, meaning "little men of stone," is a magical place located in the Sarntal Alps. This mystical area is characterized by a collection of stone piles, similar to small towers or cairns, which are said to have been erected since ancient times. Some local legends attribute magical powers to them or connect them to pagan rites practiced by the people who inhabited these lands centuries ago.

The site can be reached via several hiking trails that start from Avelengo or Meltina, offering spectacular views of the entire valley and the Dolomites. The itinerary is also suitable for families, with well-marked paths and views that span forests, alpine meadows and distant peaks. The climb is challenging but rewarding, and the almost fairy-tale atmosphere makes the visit a unique experience for lovers of nature and alpine traditions.
