General description
This easy hike from Vöran/Verano to Hafling/Avelengo is suitable for everyone and even doable with a stroller. There are several places to stop and eat along the way -all of which have terraces with delightful views.
Route description
Your hike starts comfortably with a bus ride to the Sportplatz Vöran stop. From here, an easy and pleasant hike towards Hafling begins. First, follow trail no. 16, which leads you slightly uphill to the Weiher Bruggen pond.
If you feel like taking a break or stopping for a bite to eat, there are two options here: the Leadner Alm or the Gasthof Waldbichl. Both invite you to take a short break, have a drink, or enjoy regional specialties.
After the pond, continue your hike: below the pond, trail no. 16 branches off and leads you gently down to Hafling village. This is where your tour ends, and you can take the bus back to your starting point.
