The set-off point for this hike is in Telfen (between Seis and Kastelruth). The first stretch leads towards the sports and football fields, and veers off to the right in direction of the signpost “Pilzeweg” (mushroom trail) shortly after the sports field.

Display boards along the path explain all about the world of mushrooms. On the nature trail, you will meet with death cap, boletus, chanterelle, fly agaric and a wealth of other mushrooms in the form of carved tree trunks. All of these mushrooms grow in the Laranza forest. At the highest point of the route, a wooden viewing platform boasts beautiful views over the area.

After the short loop trail, the hike continues onwards to the “Veduta del Re”– the “King’s Vantage Point”. This special look-out spot was named for King Frederick Augustus of Saxony, who loved to come here and enjoy the views during his stays in Seis. The path leads onwards in gentle ups-and-downs through the pine forest and back to the set-off point.
