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!

Directions
From the starting point, follow the road out of the valley until you can cross the rover of Prags/Braies at your left side ( indicated by markings). Now it's a short, steep climb along the Hellweg up the Pragser mountain. Continue along the path past several originally preserved mountain farms to the highest point of the hike (1410m). There you have a beautiful view of the end of the valley, which is crowned by the all-dominant Seekofel peak. Follow the signs downhill to the church of St. Veit/San Vito, where this hike ends.
