Mythical places and wild customs
This section starts in the centre of Imst and leads over the famous "Bergl", the Imst Calvary, which is embraced by two thundering torrents. The trail leads up a stony and steep ascent past the Stations of the Cross to the Laurentius Church, one of the oldest churches in Tyrol. From here, the trail continues along a forest path to the Wetterkreuz. The impressive view of the Gurgltal valley and the Tschirgant mountain opposite invites you to take a break. Follow the forest path until you cross the Hahntennjochstraße. Now you reach a peaceful lake, the Starkenberger See. Pass the lake and continue through the chestnut-lined avenue to Starkenberg Castle. There, follow the asphalt path to today's destination, the Tarrenz parish church.
