Le sentier des étoiles, de Viltun près de Gummer à Steinegg

Due to a mudslide, the ‘Path of the Stars’ does not start directly in the village of Gummer|San Valentino, but at the Viltun Sawmill (bus stop "Viltun"), a little above the village Gummer|San Valentino.
Here you take path [1B] and come to station 2 a little above the farm Bockberger with a huge viewing platform and a date sundial. You can relax in a sky lounger and look up at the sky. 
Always on trail [1B] you also reach station 3 with a rotating star map. Continuing along this path, you reach the observatory (station 4) in Obergummer with a wonderful panorama and a unique view of the Latemar Dolomite massif. Here you also have the possibility to stop at the farm Untereggerhof Inn.
Continue along path [5] in the direction of the farm Tschigg and the Pluto planetary station. Cross the Tschiggermoor to reach the idyllically situated "Kaserer Bild" chapel. Here, turn right briefly via path [4]. Turn left at the Soluck car park and continue along the Steinegg Hiking Path [marked yellow shoe]. Cross the Streitmoos to the junction with path [6]. Turn right here and continue along path [6]. Follow the signs for ‘Path of the stars’, keep left above the Kummerhof farm and after a short stretch, take the path [7] on the right to reach the Spitzköfele viewing platform with station 5 (Polarstar as an orientation aid). Head down via path [8A], then turn right onto path [8]. This path will take you to Steinegg|Collepietra. Here the Mini Star Trail starts at the main road up to the school (station 6).
