The European long-distance hiking trail E5 is 3,200 kilometers long and leads from the Atlantic coast of France, over the Alps, to Venice. A section of the long-distance hiking trail number 5 runs through South Tyrol in four stages, one of which goes through the Hirzer hiking area. From the Hirzerhütte hut (1,980 m), which was inaugurated in 1874 as the first Alpine Club hut in South Tyrol, it goes over the Hirzerscharte to the Kratzberger See at 2,128 m and further to the Meraner Hütte hut.

For generations, the path through the Masulschlucht gorge was an important link between Verdins and the mountain hamlet of Videgg. Yet, the path has also been the victim of nature’s cruel game… for example, the old bridge over the gorge was ripped away by the floods in the storm decades before and completely destroyed. Since then, the newly-installed wooden bridge offers breathtaking views of the lie of the land around the Masul torrent.
