Not only the first board of the adventure trail offers an insight into cheese production, but also the show dairy at the Vorderkaser Inn. At the Mitterkaser Alm Hut, a simplified model of a butter tub invites you to turn, with the printed texts describing the Merano High Mountain Trail. Information on the reintroduction of stone deer can be obtained from the Rableid Alm Hut. The telescope set up there can be used to look out for the skilled climbers in the rock faces. At the Eishof Hut the special geological conditions are particularly fascinating. Stories and legends about the Schnalstal Valley and Pfossental Valley are the conclusion of the adventure trail.
