Drive further up the Pfeffersberg past the village of Tils as far as the car park at the Perlungerhof chalet. From there follow trail no. 8 through coniferous forests up to Lake Radlsee at 2,255 metres above sea level. If you need a bite to eat you can stop at the Radlsee Hut (and if you’re still hungry for more hiking, can continue on to the Königsangerspitze). From there you can enjoy a fabulous, wide-ranging view of the Eisack Valley, Puster Valley and Sarntal mountains - at the Radlsee Hut there is a map with the mountain summits that can be seen from there. Simply wonderful!

From Pinzagen drive via Feldthurns to Latzfons and from there continue to the Kaseregg car park. From there follow trail no. 15 to the Kesselbild, then trail no. 1 to the Latzfons Cross shelter with the highest little pilgrimage church in Europe. Stay there for a while and recharge your batteries for the remaining steep, but hazard-free climb to the summit of the Kassianspitze. Once you reach the top, simply enjoy the 360º panoramic views!

Drive through Brixen via Milland to St. Andrä and from there via St. Georg in Afers to Kreuztal. Park there near Pension Geisler and follow trail no. 17 to the east. You will come to a fork in the path; here follow the signs for trail no. 17A to the Rossalm. The trail provides plenty of opportunities to play and is very entertaining, meaning that young explorers will never get bored! After refreshments on the Rossalm, follow trail no. 14 back to Kreuztal.
