This hiking route takes you through the beautiful Pustertal Valley. The trail is 8.262 kilometers long with an elevation gain of 178 meters, making it a difficult hike that will take approximately 2 hours and 21 minutes to complete.
As you start your journey, you will pass by the Hochstein parking lot, located just 0.1 kilometers from the beginning of the trail. Along the way, you will encounter several water sources, some closer to the trail than others, offering a chance to refill your water bottle and take a break.
About 0.44 kilometers into the hike, you will come across the Hochstein peak, a natural landmark with a wayside cross, providing a perfect spot to take in panoramic views of the surrounding area.
Throughout the trail, you will also find benches placed at convenient spots for resting and enjoying the scenery. Remember to bring an adequate amount of water, as some water sources may be further away from the trail.
Before embarking on this hike, it is recommended to check the weather forecast and be prepared for a challenging trek due to the length and elevation gain of the trail. The route is an out-and-back type, so you will retrace your steps on the way back to the starting point.
