The lonely summit "Geige" above Tesselberg surprises with a panoramic view of Bruneck, the Ahrntal valley and the surrounding mountains.
Itinerary
At the hiking signpost just above the parking lot, follow sign 7A to the left and walk along the farm road for a while. Just before the last farmsteads, turn left onto forest path no. 7A, which takes you on a fairly steep climb through a shady coniferous forest. Once you reach the tree line, follow the narrow meadow path up to the summit of the Geige, which is already visible. From the viewing bench at the foot of the summit cross, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Brunico, the lower Ahrntal valley and the surrounding mountains. For the return journey, first descend the well-known meadow path before turning left at the nearest fork onto trail no. 7A, that leads you on a gentle traverse to the rustic Tesselberger Alm at the foot of the Schönbichl, which invites you to take a leisurely break from June to September. You then hike back to the starting point on the wide forest track No. 7.
