Cortaccia – Lochweg - Graun – Alter Grauner Weg - Cortaccia
Südtirols Süden
From the main Square of Kurtatsch, the route starts up the short steep Obergasse to the little square where we turn to the right. At the next fountain the route follows Schiessstandweg for about 50 meters until the forest path marked 5a branches off. This leads into Lochweg (marking 5), which takes us to Graun. In Graun there are several places to eat and drink something before continuing back over the old Grauner Weg which turns right after the Goldener Adler Inn and just before the St. George's church. This road leads to the "new" Grauner Weg near "Kehr". Tip: Just past the St. George's church there is a wonderful view of the southern Adige valley from the "Sitzkofel"!
