The Laranz Forest between Seis and Telfen is the quintessence of a mysterious fairytale forest: The trail through the wood is a gift of peace, strength and inner contemplation. Settlements had already been established on this hilly knoll in the days of Ötzi the Ice Man. The leisurely loop route leads through dappled pine forests to the Königswarte (the “King’s view”), a spectacular lookout point. The hike is doable in both summer and winter.
Follow the road from the centre of Seis towards Kastelruth, turn left at the Mirabell junction (alternatively, take the bus until there) and continue onwards along the loop route, passing Rungghof and following the directions to the sports field. Continue onwards along the signposted forest road to the Königswarte (King’s View) vantage point. The trail leads back to the starting point in Seis along a loop, passing the Lanzin farms and Telfen (bus stop).
