Auener Joch (1,924 m)

Highlight • Summit

This beautiful high plateau is located just before the Stoarne Mandln. Nice location to have a rest too. Here some paths meet and if you are lucky a few cows with horses meet.

October 12, 2024,Kreuzjoch / Stoanerne Mandln Runde von Hafling (38/24E)

A panoramic tour at its finest. The paths were not always easy to ride and every now and then I had to push the bike for a short time.
The highlight of the tour was the Kreuzjoch at 2,084 meters.
The Stoanernen Mandln are impressive. Who on earth went to so much trouble to build so many stone towers 🤔.

June 27, 2022,Südtirol: Top Tour👍 Meraner Alm bis Stoarnerne Mandln

Everything was there: From asphalt to crass trails at the end. This year we drove all the way from Meran 2000 via the Meraner Hütte to the Steinernen Mandl. At the beginning huge construction site with diversions because of the ski area. The crazy ones concrete everything.
But then absolutely top paths with a great view (unfortunately it was a …

Fantastic tour! Beautiful uphills (with ebike 😜) Some technical descents to the Mandel. Root trail S3!!
Departure from Hafling Schenna/Meran 2000 is definitely S3!!!
But it's all doable!

August 25, 2023,Meran 2000 Rundtour ab Hotel Hafling Oberdorf über Kesselberghütte und Kreuzjoch, über Waldwege zurück

We rented e-MTBs at the Hotel Sonnenheim in Hafling Oberdorf. We went up to Falzeben on roads and country lanes and from there straight on to the Piffing cable car mountain station. The aim was then to reach the Kesselberghütte somewhat away from hikers and then to decide how to proceed. Windspiel and Kleiner Mittager seemed too busy that day, …

Meran 2000 takes you up the mountain. The goal is the trails to the Stoanernen Mandl, on the 2003 m high summit of the Hohe Reisch. A mystical place, where today many young people probably climb up to watch the sunrise. Countless columns made of red sandstone stand around here, large and small. It is said that the devil met …

Great tour on the snow-capped ridges of Merano 2000, on horseback with the Val Sarentino. Crazy day and ride partly pedaled and partly pushed (1h 1/2) in the summit area
