Sexten, Pustertal: um den Helm und hinunter
In der Nähe von Sexten auf der Staatsgrenze von Österreich und Italien erhebt sich der gut 2.400 m hohe Helm mit seiner gemütlich-runden Kuppe. Weithin sichtbar ist die Ruine eines Schutzhauses auf seinem Gipfel. An seinen Flanken finden sich noch heute die Reste etlicher Befestigungsanlagen aus dem Gebirgskrieg (1915 – 1918). Vom Helm genießt man einen Superblick auf die „Sextener Sonnenuhr“, eine Bergformation mit den markanten Gipfeln Neuner, Zehner, Elfer, Zwölfer und Einser. Unsere Tour mit Hund und Kindern bringt uns mit der Seilbahn hinauf zur Bergstation. Von hier aus folgen wir dem gut 1,5 km langen, liebevoll angelegten Familienpark „Olpers Bergwelt“. Für Kinder (und neugierige Hunde 🙂 ) gibt es hier viel zu entdecken. Wir waren kurz vor der Hauptsaison unterwegs. Wenig los. Unser Amos konnte frei laufen. Nur am Streichelzoo lief er an der Leine.
Nach einer Pause auf der großen Sonnenterrasse des Restaurants an der Bergstation geht`s den Helm hinab nach Moos zur Talsation – über die Lärchenhütte und die Festung Mitterberg. Kurz hinter dieser historischen Militäranlage biegt der Wanderweg Richtung Moos links von der Anliegerstraße ab und führt wenige Meter über das Gelände eines Bauernhofs. Die drei Hunde hier, zwei frei, einer angebunden, machen ordentlich Krach (nur Gebell, kein Geknurre), weichen aber sofort zurück. Wem das zu unheimlich ist, der folgt einfach weiter dem Anliegersträßchen bergab. Wir queren den Bauernhof, übersehen fast den Wegweiser an einem Baum. Wir folgen den im hohen Gras kaum sichtbaren Pfad den Berg hinab zum Wald. Nach einem kurzen wurzeligen Steilstück geht es sanfter absteigend durch den Wald, bis der Pfad auf den Sextener Rundweg trifft. Rechts ab und weiter auf dem schönen Höhenweg am Waldrand. Dann noch ein kurzes Stück über die Anliegerstraße, die Treppe hinab und wir erreichen den Parkplatz an der Talstation.
Unter Füßen und Pfoten: weiche Pfade in Olpers Bergwelt, sonst überwiegend sanft geschotterte Forstwege, die auch mit Kraxe und Kleinkind auf dem Rücken gut zu meistern sind. Auf dem letzten Viertel Teer auf der wenig befahrenen Anliegerstraße.

Unterwegs auf dem Helm in Olperls Bergwelt , liebevoll angelegt und benannt nach der bekanntesten Sagengestalt Sextens. Der Olperl führte nächtliche Wanderer gerne in die Irre.
Die Helmbahn bietet üppig Platz für 3 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder und einen Hund. Da hätte locker noch ein großer Bello reingepasst.
Amos wird aus der Gondel getragen, damit er mit seinen kleinen Pfoten nicht in den Zwischenraum zwischen Gondel und Plateau gerät. Für Hunde mit weniger besorgten Frauchen sollte der Ausstieg auf eigenen Beinen kein Problem sein. :-)
Hier schläft der Olperl.
Diese gut frisierten Damen wohnen im Minizoo am Ende des Erlebnispfads.
Blick auf die "Sextener Sonnenuhr".
Die Festung Mitterberg, eine militärische Bestigungsanlage, erbaut 1884.
Hier führt uns der Weg wenige Meter über das Bauernhofgelände.
Leicht zu übersehen: der Abzweig hinter dem Bauernhof.
