The start is in the centre of Vadena/Pfatten, where the hiking trail no. 5A begins. This steep path leads through the forest to the Lakes of Monticolo, where you have to follow first the markings of the path 5A, then path 1 and finally path 1B. If you wish you can make a quick detour to the viewpoint "Wilder-Mann-Bühl" at an altitude of 645 metres.
Continuing on the marked trail you will come to Schreckbichl, a small hamlet of Cornaiano/Girlan-Appiano/Eppan. The route continues downhill towards Sigmundskron Castle, home to the Messner Mountain Museum Firmian, which is well worth a visit. Refreshment points are available too. To return you can take the same way or you can get to the small village of Firmiano/Sigmundskron, where you can take the bus back to Laives/Leifers.
