Open
An interesting circular trail that leads you past a number of cultural highlights. The hike takes about 4-5 hours. The route can also start with the Tulip Ring.

After the Viertel hamlet, continuing towards Hofstadt, the path leaves the road and goes through the Unnergries and Riedgraben gorges.
After crossing both gorges, the path continues on the forest road up to the Firsitten junction. Through romantic forests, it steeply ascends to a place called "Unnerbode." However, it is worth overcoming the climb to "Oberbode" and "Hohtutter," a remarkable viewpoint in the Grengiols community area. From here, a wonderful view opens up over Ausserbinn, the Twingi Gorge, and into the Binntal valley.
Subsequently, you descend back to the place called Riischpeggi and continue over the Riedgraben and Unnergraben gorges to the forest road. Along the forest road, we turn left and walk past the information board at Grossen Tanna towards Seng. From there, it goes steeply down to Bächerhäusern and back to Grengiols
