Route description

Museum of Minerals in Teis

The starting point of this hike is in Teis, where you will find the first highlight of your tour. In the village of Teis there is a Museum of Minerals, which is definitely worth your visit. After a visit in the museum leave the small village walking on a solid road at first. Once you see a small hiking trail marked with the number 11 change onto that one and keep on hiking. The first part of your hike will be through forested area and you will have to prepare for some steeper hiking uphill. After you have managed the passage through the woods, you will get to relax a little because the next trail leads you through small villages around Miglanz and Petruder. Keep hiking on path number 11 until you reach St. Valentin church.

Traversing the Sunnseitenweg path

After a quick stop visiting the beautiful church, you will now find yourself at a crossroad. Keep left and start hiking on Sunnseitenweg.

Traverse the Melanserbach creek and keep hiking on the previously mentioned trail. Very soon you will reach another crossroad where you take two left turns.
