Circular hiking trail around Europe's largest excavated landfill ... The entire excavation from the Brenner Base Tunnel has to go somewhere ...

Showing Translation

Today, in better weather, we walked the circular route around the Brenner Base Tunnel landfill with our neighborhood group:

bbt-se.com/fileadmin/broschueren/2023/rundwanderweg-padastertal/Rundwanderweg-Padastertal/7

It was a beautiful and informative walk, and
it was very impressive to see the effort that goes into disposing of the 7.5 million m³ of excavated material from the tunnel.

De kun ma recommend a beary circular hike around the Padastertal in the course of the construction of the Brenner base wead... a number of display boards and a great vantage point... and a 500 m long illuminated tunnel to go through

Don't get confused. The little "hook" after the lookout point is a GPS error. The circular route always goes along the edge of the landfill.
