Circular hike from Steinegg|Collepietra featuring the viewpoints Spitzköfele, the Mountain Cinema „Furner Oach“ and views of the earth pyramids of Steinegg|Collepietra.

This circular hike from Steinegg|Collepietra combines nature, movement and breathtaking views. The first highlight is the Spitzköfele – a quiet lookout point offering a clear view of Steinegg|Collepietra, the Schlern|Sciliar and the Ritten|Renon high plateau. From there, the trail leads you to the heart of the tour: the Eggental Mountain Cinema – “Furner Oach”. Comfortable wooden loungers and a stylised cinema frame invite you to pause and take in the stunning panorama of the Rosengarten|Catinaccio, the Schlern|Sciliar, and – in the distance – the Zillertal Alps.

Toward the end of the route, the view opens up to a rare natural wonder: the earth pyramids of Steinegg|Collepietra, mysterious and fascinating. A hike that inspires wonder – step by step.

Important note: There are no refreshment stops along the entire circular route. However, at the start and end point in Steinegg|Collepietra, you will find several restaurants, cafés, and two shops.

Directions
From the village square in Steinegg|Collepietra, the trail [2 | 7 | 8] starts towards Wiedenhof at the Lex Market shop. At the beginning you will cross a residential area, then join a forest and meadow path with wonderful views. Follow trail [8] to the junction with trail [8A] towards Spitzköfele, which you follow. The Spitzköfele is a wonderful viewpoint in the middle of the forest with seating and invites you to take a short break. Ascend for a short while and turn left to reach trail [6], which you follow upwards to the right. After about 1 h 40 min from the starting point, you reach the Steinegg|Collepietra Hiking Path, which you continue to follow on the left. After approx. 20 min, the trail joins the asphalt road, which you take to the left with sections in the forest (always marked Steinegg|Collepietra Hiking Path - yellow shoe) until you reach the sports field - Innerplatzer Hof junction. Here you walk in the direction of Innerplatzer Hof (paddock) path [3], past the farm and descend with breathtaking views. As soon as you reach the clearing of the beautiful meadows (after 2 h 30 min - 7.3 km - ascent 441 m - descent 109 m), where you can see the main road Steinegg|Collepietra - Gummer|S.Valentino, leave the marking at the water reservoir to the right onto the main road. Here you hike along the road down towards the double bend, where you can see the "Furner Oach" dolomite cinema from afar.

When you have had your fill, walk the short distance back to the hiking trail and take the path [3A] down. After about 20 minutes you cross the road and behind the two new buildings on the right you have to descend the stairs. Follow the path, which leads relatively steeply downwards, past meadows and old farms and you will see the earth pyramids of Steinegg|Collepietra.
At the end of the path [3A] turn left and follow the pyramid path. Follow the marking [2] through the "Katzenbach" gorge and you will reach the entrance to the village, where you will see the "Weißes Bild" chapel. Follow the footpath downwards and after 10 minutes you will reach the starting point.
