The descent is very beautiful, but you have to be careful not to fall victim to a racing cyclist who is trying to set a new record.

On the entire Tappeinerweg you have a good view from Töll over Algund into the Etschtal to Lana. If you want to see as far as Bolzano, you should take the gondola from Dorf Tirol to the Hohe Mut.
