Description

This little-used but very easy forest trail bears its name for a reason, as the native squirrels simply feel at home in the shady forest of the Sillianberg. From the starting point, the Peisserhof farm at the eastern end of Sillian, you hike along the slightly ascending gravel path, first heading east and then, after a bend, west along the Sillianberg.
