Before reaching St. Peter the track branches to the right towards the Schneeweisshof. From there a track leads through the mixed forest up to Vellau. Just above the Oberlechner inn, is where the Vellauer Felsenweg begins. This narrow path is partially secured with steel ropes and ends at the Hochmuth mountain station. From here take the cable car back to Dorf Tirol.Along the Bolzano/Bozen-Meran/Merano expressway to the exit Meran South-Sinich/Sinigo - Dorf Tirol/Tirolo - along the main street to the tourist information association (main street 31).Chargeable parking just down from the tourist information association near the turn-off onto Aichweg.
