The walk starts and ends at the bus turning area in Partschins. From here, head east along Gaudententurm Street and Roman Road, following trail 10B towards Vertigen as far as Niedermair Restaurant.

Continue on to the Partschins irrigation channel path. Along the channel, a path branches off to the right, signposted “Trail of Legends” (symbol: prehistoric hunter). The route follows the Geadaweg up to Golderskofel and on to the well-known Saltenstein near Salten, a striking rock formation linked to many local legends.

From Salten, follow the road briefly back towards Partschins to join trail 1 along the Zielbach river. Walking beside the water leads to Winklerhof inn. The loop then continues across the suspension bridge and along the Sonnenbergweg through apple orchards back to the centre of Partschins, where the walk ends.
