Description

From Vrin, a country road leads through lush meadows and a species-rich mixed forest down to the Glogn. Then it continues past the Bronze Age settlement Crestaulta to Surin. From Surin, the hiking trail follows the little-trafficked main road to Pruastg Dado. There you leave the road and follow the path over the meadows up to the suspension bridge. Crossing the 67-meter-long and 45-meter-high bridge may require some overcoming for some. After the bridge, a hiking trail leads down to Silgin. From there, the hike continues on the forest road towards Surcasti. After about two kilometers, the path forks. Take the upper path towards Schumials. From the Schumials fire pit, there are two ways to hike to Surcasti. One leads over the paved melioration road, the other is a path through the forest towards Surcasti. Walk through the village towards the church Sogn Luregn. Via the old connecting road, you reach Uors.

Hidden Gem

Instead of hiking towards Schumials, you can also take the direct route (partly paved) to Surcasti.

Barbecue sites in the forest of Surin and in Schumials.

Refreshments available: Vrin, Uors, Silgin (open only on Sundays)

Safety Note

The hike should not be started in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar approaches during the hike, you should turn back in good time.

Equipment

Good hiking shoes with a good tread or trekking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing (rain jacket), possibly trekking poles.
