Description

Starting point of this demanding village hike is the car park by the church. Walk on past the mill (bread is baked and sold here weekly during the summer months) and walk upwards in several serpentines to the hamlet Egg. The secluded hamlet rewards your strenuous climb with a beautiful view of the valley basin with the villages Wenns and Piller. Take a shortcut from the access road following a steep path by turning off from the hamlet of Breitwies in direction of Haag. The beautifully landscaped path via Haag continues in the direction of Larchwies, then cross the Hochzeiger Road to continue walking on a track to the hamlet of Falsterwies. A somewhat steeper path leads up to the country road, which you have to follow for a short section. Once you get to a beautiful chapel, turn off into a farm track to the right. The track leads back to your starting point in the village centre of Jerzens.
