Starting at Piazza del Municipio, you'll begin your journey by exploring historic shrines like the Wayside Shrine at 0.44 km from the start, and the Sella Clinach at 10.09 km, offering a unique cultural experience along the way. As you trek further, you'll encounter the majestic peak of Monte Cucco at 11.55 km, a perfect spot to take in panoramic views of the area.
Throughout the hike, you'll come across various facilities such as benches for resting, like the one at 0.19 km, and dining options like Casa Oberrichter at 0.02 km for refueling. Remember to stay hydrated with drinking water stations available at 0.19 km.
As you approach the midway point, take a moment to appreciate the memorial of Oberfeuerwerker Ignaz Rauch at 0.47 km, adding a historical touch to your outdoor experience.
The route is an out-and-back type, so you will retrace your steps back to the starting point, giving you a chance to see the landmarks from a different perspective on the way back.
With an elevation gain of 1119 meters, this hike is not for the faint-hearted, so be prepared with proper gear, plenty of water, and snacks. It's also a good idea to check the weather forecast before heading out to ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure.
