In the seats made from steel and chestnut wood designed and positioned by the artist Franz Messner from Ritten/Renon, one can enjoy unique views of the Texelgrupperange all the way to Penegal mountain and the Weißhorn peak, as though sitting comfortably in a cinema. But the film is always changing in the Knottnkino: daily, hourly, with the time of day and the changing of the season, with the climate and weather, there is always something new to see...

Along the way, you pass the village of Stange/Stanghe, which can also be used as an alternative starting point to shorten the tour.

From here we follow the branding N. 8 through grasslands with larches on it until we reach the alpine cabin "Fraulalm".

The closely located "Schönblick" is for sure worth a quick side-trip. Back to the alpine cabin we follow the sign N. 7 "Sportplatz" and reach the access road to Altrei/Anterivo. After about 200m we get to the sports area and to the bar "Ebnerrast" which is the only possibility of fare. Now we follow the sign "Altrei".

From Maiern/Masseria, behind the Hotel Schneeberg (1,400 m), follow the signs for “Untere Gewingesalm”: First head south across the open valley floor to the edge of the forest, then ascend via a wide, groomed forest road in several switchbacks through wooded slopes. The Untere Gewingesalm alpine hut (1,782 m) is located at the tree line.

The hike itself is relatively easy, a pleasant walk right across the Innerfeldtal valley.
