Tratto vecchia ferroviaPhoto: Südtirols Süden
This segment leads from the village of Gfrill (1,300 meters elevation) to Montan (500 meters above sea-level). At the beginning, the route is slightly uphill via the Gfrill Saddle and then downhill until you reach Gschnon (good place to stop for a rest). You will then ascend via Gsteig (option for refreshments and overnight lodgings) and down to the impressive Glen Waterfall. You will then take the last part along the old railroad route of the former Fleims Valley railroad to the famed Pinot Noir village of Montan.
Helpful hint for this route: Take the little side-trip from Gsteig to the impressive "Kanzel" looming high above the Unterland district. You'll be rewarded with a fantastic view!
