Passing by the Aschbach cable car and the Laterne restaurant/pizzeria, follow trail No. 28, which leads through picturesque forests and numerous viewpoints.

The return to the starting point is comfortably made with the Aschbach cable car. This ride offers a unique perspective on the Vinschgau and the Merano basin from above and rounds off the hiking experience.
