An extremely scenic, six-kilometre high-altitude trail that follows old war trails and can also be recommended to less experienced mountain hikers, especially as the ascent can be done by lift and the way back by bus. The good trail leads from the Rotwand meadows, partly at the tree line, partly above it at the foot of vertical rockfalls, almost flat to the Kreuzberg Pass. From the path there are beautiful views of the Carnic ridge and the ice peaks of the Rieserferner group to the north.

Directions

From Moos/Moso we walk at the right at the curch of Moso to the Café Kofler and across the meadows to the funicular of the Croda Rossa. We take the lift and arrive at an altitude of 1950m. Here starts the excursion on the path nr. 15. The path starts flat and arrives in a short wood and than follows under the rocks of the Croda Rossa, the Peak Nine (Neuner) and the Arzalpenkopf. Along the entire path you can see many rests of the World War I. The last piece of the path goes down to the Hotel Kreuzbergpass crossing the ski slope. Now you can take the bus to Moso or walk on the way nr. 13A next to the river and way 1 back to Moos/Moso.
