The starting and finishing point of this scenic and varied hike is the traditional village of Niederdorf/Villabassa (1,154 m), which we reach by a short and comfortable train journey. We first walk through the village along the rushing Rienz/Rienza river and continue through the beautiful spa park to the Weiherbad inn. A gentle ascent through impressive scenery takes us to the sunny hamlet of Aufkirchen/Santa Maria (1,322 m), known for its beautiful pilgrimage church and the traditional Kirchenwirt inn. From here, we enjoy magnificent views of the Dolomites and the wide Dobbiaco valley basin. After a short descent, we reach the centre of Toblach/Dobbiaco (1,200 m) and walk through this well-known village, rich in history and culture, in the Three Peaks region. A pleasant walking path leads us back to the railway station and thus to our starting point.
