The excursion

The excursion begins in Gfrill, situated above Salurn at 1300 m above sea level. Take path E5 there and then path 2/4 in southwestern direction. Walking along path 2 you reach the high-moors called Scharzsee Lake and Weißsee Lake.

Both lakes are imbedded in a very mysterious landscape and they seem to hide many secrets. After you have seen enough continue your excursion on path 3/4 to reach the Hornalm-alpine pasture. By the way you pass marvelous forests and lovely meadows. Arrived at the Hornalm-alpine pasture take a break and enjoy the great view over Salurn and Southern South Tyrol.
