Looking for a day outdoors that’s both meaningful and fun? Join us on Saturday, September 20, 2025 (World CleanUP Day) for the
CleanUP Hike in the Ahrntal – with time in nature, inspiring conversations, and a shared goal: leaving a positive impact.
We’ll start together in Luttach and follow the Ahr River downstream on a relaxed 6 km trail. Along the way, local guide Marco Zema will share fascinating insights into the unique nature of South Tyrol and the river’s ecosystem. There's time for connection, reflection, and of course – collecting litter along the route.
Our destination is the beautifully located Goasroscht in Sand in Taufers, where we’ll wind down with a small snack (thanks to the Zukunft Ahrntal Consortium) and come together for the CleanUP Workshop by PATRON. We'll take a closer look at what we collected and discuss what each of us can do – and why it matters to take action.
We’ll then screen
Treelude – an experimental short film exploring the connection between people and nature, filmed right here in the Ahrntal. Its soundtrack is composed entirely of natural sounds recorded on location. The film was created by athlete and nature photographer/filmmaker Lukas Schäfer, directed by Marco Zingaretti, and initiated by Linda Schwarz, Executive Producer of POW Italy. Produced by Soul Film Production in collaboration with OL Music Studio.
Sign up and secure one of the limited spots. Registration is open until September 17, 2025, and the number of participants is limited to 30 people.
