Through deciduous forest and later mixed forest, you reach Steinegg|Collepietra at an altitude of 820 metres via the "Rittersteig" trail. Here you will find several places to stop for refreshments and you can also enjoy the unique >Museum of Steinegg. Across the hill "Pstosser Bühl", you can already enjoy the first wonderful views of the Schlern and the Rosengarten. You walk right past the earth pyramids of Steinegg|Collepietra and then descend into the Valley of Tiers|Tires to the small village of Breien|Briè. Along the torrent Briè you reach Tiers|Tires, our first stage destination on our 5-day hike.
