When the sun barely appears for two months in the village of Schmieden/Ferrara and hides behind the vast mountain massif of the Herrenstein peak, the farms just above the village enjoy the bright sunshine. Enjoy the extended view of the Pragsertal valley during a hike along the sunny side of the village. Starting in Schmieden/Ferrara or St. Veit/S. Vito you follow the road leading to the highest farms in the village. The Moserhof guesthouse awaits you - warm up in the cosy rooms and taste some regional specialities.
Starting point: Schmieden/Ferrara (1,222 m) or St. Veit/San Vito (1,340 m)
Highest point: Moserhof (1,435 m)

Please note: Due to the temperature fluctuations, there may be icy patches on the trails and we therefore recommend the use of crampons!
