Description

The circular hike starts in Obertilliach and initially leads downwards through the fields, passing the iconic "Tillga Schupfen" until reaching the district of Bergen. There, turn right onto the road and follow it for a short distance to the sawmill and sewage treatment plant, before crossing the Gail river via a bridge and then hiking along a forest path along the Gail again. Following the path slightly uphill towards the west, you reach the playground at Mühlboden. From here, the route leads northwards back up into the village.
