You can't go wrong on this tour. It's a leisurely and beautiful ride. Plus, a nice rest stop in Boscheben.

Today we skipped the summit and hiked around it. A wonderful hike through the nature reserve on the Kofel with its ancient pine trees. A short detour to the cross of the young farmers of Lans to get a bit of a "summit feeling" and a stop in Boscheben, which has been open since yesterday.
