From the centre of Naturno (554 m) we follow Via Stazione to the bridge `where` the Etsch cycling path begins. We turn right onto the cycle path and follow it to Stava, Ciardes and then on to Castelbello. In Castelbello we turn left over the bridge and follow the road to Montefranco/ Freiberg and the hut “Marzoner Alm”. The first section is very steep and leads to the village of Montefranco/ Freiberg. From Montefranco/ Freiberg (1,200 m), a beautiful forest road winds its way up a pleasant slope to the hut ‘Marzoner Alm’ (1,600 m). From the  hut ‘Marzoner Alm’ we follow the ‘Bike Highline Merano’ to the Tomberg and continue uphill to the hut ‘Tablander Alm’. We continue along the ‘Bike Highline Merano’ and after a short push we reach the forest path, which takes us to the hut ‘Mausloch Alm’ (1,835 m). From the hut ‘Mausloch Alm’ we first descend via the Mausloch Panorama Flowtrail (S1) and then via the Ötzi Trail (S3). In the valley, the Ötzi Flow Trail ends at the Waldschenke restaurant. From the Waldschenke restaurant, the road leads back to Naturno.
