Highlight • Viewpoint

Although an impressive view of the landfill, but "Panoramawanderweg" not recommended, constant up and down that's no fun .. and the noise accompanies the ascent for at least 1 hour. …

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

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
