Sport and leisure
With its unique nature, the South of Südtirol was literally created for sports and leisure. Mountains and lakes offer the ideal conditions for certain types of sport. The beautiful surroundings can be discovered by horse or bike. And sometimes it is simply exciting to be an onlooker during sports events.
On the back of a Hafling horse
The best way to discover nature is on the back of a Hafling horse. Due to its good-nature and its safe step, it is the ideal riding companion for beginners and children. For Haflings, the best riding village is Jenesien: there are 6 equestrian centres, where you can find the popular horses. Why don't you try it out? Wide forest roads and small forest paths offer something for everyone.
