A beautiful sunny day with good view stands before us. There on Friday in the mountains still snowed, We need to watch something when planning the today's hiking tour. I decide, the new Hiking Portal Sentres.com to test. Initially, this is regarding. User experience something unusual, but since it is very open, It takes off quickly. Where & What are the primary input fields. Then click on search start and already is one with Hiking tours businessmen.
Hiking in the Badia Valley (Val Badia): at the St. Barbara Church in Wengen (La Val)
The selection of hiking is although not huge, but still pretty good. And above all super made. The filter options by category (wandern, Alpine, Wheel, Winter , City),Duration, Route, Altitude , maximum height and featured season are seekers for hiking tour ideal. With the IE9 are unfortunately not operate the informed, so I get to race on the FF4. Works. Quickly register, thus to the backpack (Add function to the tours) can use, and the selection of hiking is great. A decision is taken quickly. The today's walk to us by Corvara cause the Col ALT.
The directions of the Gardena pass gives rise to our project but in a different light. A view down gives certainty us to CORVARA finally. Schnee . What's next? Wet feet risk or switch?
How to switch? Luckily I have installed the Sentres iPhone app. Times look whether we wander with this- Finding an alternative nearby tool on-the-fly. Surprise: the Sentres app to work even much more than the site. Allright!
The show is perfectly unlike Trekking.Suedtirol.info optimized for finger gestures. Wau , I'm excited. Only Downer: the maximum height is in the list Hiking suggestions not displayed, but this can be solved by means of a click on the icon show. While there as no direct indication of the meters, but who can read a little terrain maps, takes off quickly with the contour lines.
Wau , also, all other possible are out of the proposed tour Hiking trails drawn and before Forest roads the app does not stop. Optimal, to in the short term to rescheduling the walk.
If we choose the thematic Farm walk to the Ladin of Viles. I leaving open the Sentres card and follow the blue point. Well, so this is not true of course. The blue point, is our GPS position, follow us:.
Just before St . Martin in Thurn We Park next to the road and start with the farm walk. A paved side road leads us into some serpentines on the right side up. The noise of the Gadertalerstraße and the Gaderbaches is ever quieter. When the first farms turn left a dirt road from, what just right is us. We have no desire to traipse more on the asphalted road. Beautiful, that the South Tyrol map all hiking of South Tyrol including the forest roads displays the Sentres app in addition to the proposed routes, so an alternative is quickly found.
Costa in the lower Val Badia
First we make lunch break. This time from the backpack: Speck, Cheese and a Kaminwurz with Vinschgerlen and grain needle. The view of the fantastic Dolomite Peaks: Peitlerkofel, Geisler, Puez, Sassongher, Marmolada and Kreuzkofelgruppe with Heiligkreuzkofel, Tens and nines “sweetened” us noon visually. A short middle is rudely by three young cows and the 10 cm long snotty cutting, You suspended on their snouts, interrupted.
Time to break down and the hiking trail in the direction of Piz de corn (COR)protection. The variant spontaneously selected by us proves true gold handle: a sunny, varied hiking trail through light forest and alpine meadows with Outlook options and to some remnants of the weather conditions of Friday, talk snow.
Time and again the Sentres help show quickly us, so that we can make the State Court walk into a proper mountain hike. Goal: the Summit “COR” on 1.893 m.
We are not on the road fast. The full stomach and a light ear take their toll. To approximately 13.00 We have succeeded in clock: The grassy Summit of COR (or corn)is reached.
The panoramic view is only superlatives to describe: phenomenal, breathtaking, simply beautiful. Except Peitlerkofel, Geisler, Puez, Sassongher, Marmolada and we see Kreuzkofelgruppe here even the peaks of the nature park of SENES and further north to over the Zillertal and Ötztal Alps. Below is located in the Valley St. Vigil in Enneberg with the ski mountain Crown square behind it.
The best wife of all takes on 27 Grad in the Sun Sun, so I have enough time photographically try me.
You see yourself:
360° at the Piz de corn in the lower Val Badia
You can see a few metres from the Piz de cor Marmolada glacier up to the Dolomites.
Oh Schreck, What is that for a huge Eagle, the shadow as hunts in lightning speed from left to right. There is here but not so large birds of prey! But a quick look sky reveals the secret: a glider disturbs our pleasant solitude.
We embark on and walk first over back to the traditional wooden house to the crossroads and the crossroads shortly before 3: 00 pm, before we go de com around easily upgrade to the plan, to finally in a large, wide sweeping arch to return to the route of the theme hike to the Ladin of Viles. This return exceeds scenic and also what the views of the Kreuzkofelgruppe as far as, the way still by far.
About Campei it comes to Ronco, both districts of la Val / Wengen with only a handful of houses. On a peasant Tavern, we turn right and walk past the St. Barbara Church on the hiking trail no.. 6 meet hike until we proposed to the Sentres.
At the St. Barbara Church in La Val / Wengen (Badia / Val Badia )
Now we have some difficulties, the way to find. Therefore, we go along the way recommended by Sentres stubbornly according to GPS. This leads us on a dirt road through a meadow run right into a meadow. Na toll. OK , just like in the cross-country tour to hiking. Doesn't work unfortunately. Sentres takes us on a slope, where it is impossible on. Small minus point!
Fortunately an alternative path is but quickly found and so we descend a steep slope on the Meadow by thorn bushes and then reach the hiking trail no.. 1, which soon rejoin us in a forest road and then quite comfortable going on up to our starting point in the State Street.
All in all a wonderful hiking tour in the middle of the Dolomites of Val Badia and a successful debut of the Sentres app, which I would like to no longer miss from now, above all, on the road quickly and easily without paper map routes to find. When the makers of Sentres place still a scale display in the map and the map section with the GPS automatically would shift position, then I would be completely happy 
Hiking in South Tyrol , is my hobby . Usually the best wife of all and I are on the way on easy hiking trails . While the camera of course never fails . On this blog you can watch the result of our hikes .

Hello Dietmar .
Compliments to your beautifully-made wall's blog. Also your panoramic photos are first class – You uses a special camera? Personally, I have the Microsoft Photosynth app recently more often times(!) used for iPhone – also surprisingly good results.
Thank you for your detailed review of sentres and our app. It is very helpful for us, so a detailed feedback and constructive criticism to get.
On the IE9 slider bug our programmers are already (Issue, Priority: Critical, Category: Bug)
The sentres app to work so smoothly is because, all content is installed locally on the device – Here, nothing on the net must be loaded (that is the 2.0 Be version later hybrid – all queries online, can be saved but locally). We will also show the maximum height in the next version of the app, We have included only in hindsight on the Web – too late for the version 1.0 the app.
That our way in between once takes you to a point, where you do not otherwise sorry – our tour God Horst is already sitting at the correction of the GPX track.
I hope, the thorns of the bushes were not too sharp?
Scale indicators for the card is a good idea – We discuss with the app programming, should be not too complicated – automatically move of the map could be slightly more complicated, but I'll let the evalulieren times. Manually you can over the “Locate me” Cross-hair on the top right (This comes in the next version also left down, as it is used by Google maps) Center the map again and again to the site.
Then we hope times, that the next version of our app still restloser convinced you and that you do the next sentres tour, not again in between leads mislead.
Good time soon,
Eckart
Again news: The IE9 slider bug is already fixed. Thanks to our Ruby on Rails developer of two day (zweitag.com).
Thank you Florian
Hi Eckart,
Sorry for the late reply. Something did not work with the E mail notification about incoming comments.
Bzgl good tip. Photosynth app. Didn't know I still. I'll watch me times. I put out my panoramas 38 Individual photos together and carry panoramic head with tripod on the mountains this SLR camera and Manfrotto
Is a) pretty strictly, because much of the weight and (b)) I have then much work but then extremely high-resolution photos. Sometimes I wonder why already I me older, When I then need only low resolution for display in the Internet. But who knows…
@ Criticism:
Like to, got a great app for this also, I would like to no longer miss.
@ Way mislead:
For me not, My wife had because more difficulties * g *.
@ Scale & Co:
Scale would be great, automatically move is eh not so important. In the last tour noticed that at some point the blue point with the current position no longer appeared although the locate me did still work. Can it be, because I had no network? Otherwise the card even without network works great. Local storage is simply brilliant.
As a whole can I confirm you, that I my Garmin Colorado 300 take only due to the inclusion of the track, for everything else, there is the Sentres APP now. Large praise! Is also intended as a compliment if it is not necessarily what special, something with the Garmin Colorado 300 can keep up. I hope you understand what I mean….
Yes, I've noticed
