    From the main square, we follow the initially steep Obergasse. After traveling about 100 meters - at the little square – we turn to the right. At the next junction - the fountain – we take the Maria-Hilf Gasse to the left, passing by farms and tall old poplars until it meets the road to Graun. After about 100 meters turn left on a narrow side road - marking 2 - leading to the hamlet Hofstatt (608 m). Change to the Graun road until shortly after Gasthof Halbweg where the road leads left to an asphalt road at the Himmelspfort inn – with the possibility of a detour to the village center of Penon (605 m). To return, turn right just after the restaurant at the Himmelspfort. Over a narrow path leading through vineyards, the trail climbs down and soon reaches the paved road that leads to Kurtatsch.

    Author’s recommendation

    Spring and autumn are the best seasons for this hike. The flowering landscape in spring and colourful vineyards in autumn make the route especially attractive.

    Safety information

    The route is technically easy but requires a moderate level of fitness due to the elevation gain. Forest and meadow paths may become slippery after rain.

    Roadbook

    The hike starts in the village centre of Kurtatsch. Follow the marked paths towards Penon, climbing gradually through vineyards above the village. The route continues along old hillside paths, passing farms and woodland sections before reaching the quiet mountain village of Penon.
