From Maria Weißenstein, continue on the European long-distance trail [E5], passing through beautiful alpine pastures to reach the Schönrast Alm (approx. 1,690 m), with stunning views of the Latemar and Rosengarten. The trail then leads to the Schmieder Alm (approx. 1,720 m), set in a sunny clearing.

Follow the Gorzsteig trail downhill to the Lahner Alm (approx. 1,580 m), where you can enjoy local dishes and mountain views. Return via trail [5], rejoin the [E5], and follow the known route back to Maria Weißenstein and Petersberg.
