From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige. We turn left onto the cycle path towards Merano. We pass through the villages of Plaus and Rablà until we reach Tel. We cross the main road and take the newly laid cycle path to Lagundo which takes us downhill to the Lagundo swimming pool. There, we cross the wooden bridge and follow the road, which eventually leads us to the Forst brewery. At the brewery we cross the main road again and, keeping right, we begin the climb to Marling. We pass through the village of Marling and descend to the wine cellar of Marlengo. From there, we take Via Monteleone and proceed uphill following the signs to "Castel Monteleone". This street leads us past a castle straight to the restaurant "Tschigg" (880m). For about 100 meters we continue on this street, before we arrive at a barrier. Next a forest road leads us uphill to the plateau "Almboden" (1350m), the highest point of our tour. Descending, we follow the street on the right to the "Masi Quadrati" and "Mühltal" (signposted). At the end of the downhill path, we arrive in Tel, `where` we cross the bridge and turn left onto the cycle path back to Naturno.
