Lines of chestnuts cover the hillsides of the Valle Isarco from the Abbey of Novacella near Bressanone to the hillside of Renon and downhill to Roncolo Castle to the north of Bolzano. The chestnut footpath, "Keschtnweg", is exceptionally scenic in the Autumn as at any other time of the year. This signposted route takes through colourful woods of latifoglie, green meadows and lush chestnut forests – a unique natural landscape.  Authentic products are offered for sale by the local farmers along the footpath .
