This excursion is a very beautiful daytour along various peaks, which you ascend without much effort. The best way to arrive at the parkingspace Falzeben is to take the bus from Meltina. From Lavenna you can return easily to Meltina by autobus or walking.

The romanesque church St.Jakob on the Langfenn is positioned on the highest and most visible point of the Salto (1525m). The church stands on prehistoric ground and could tell us probably many interesting and exciting historical things. On the altar we can see Saint Jakob, the protector of all hikers, and on his side the two Patrons of the pest, Rochus and Sebastian..
