Description of tour: This tour begins in Oberradein by the panorama board below the "Nigglhof" inn. It climbs quite evenly on a good forest road through beautiful Alpine evergreens, until one reaches the tree-line. Splendid Alpine meadows open out in front of you, dotted with larches and pines. Follow the road, turning left as far as the Alpine hut Gurndin (1952 m) and cycle on over an almost level stretch as far as Inn Jochgrimm and Hotel Schwarzhorn, which are situated between the peaks of the Weisshorn and the Schwarzhorn. Now follow the metalled road in the direction of Lavazè, branch left at the first junction and descend to the Alpine hut Auerleger. Take the same route back to the starting point.
Special tip: In the geological museum of Radein there are display cases with scientifically-based, easily comprehensible explanations, which take the visitor through millions of years of the earth’s history, and show them the origins and geological evolution of the Dolomites. A vertical graphic display gives insight into the sequence of rock strata and sediment of the Bletterbach area, ranging from Bozen quartz porphyry to Gröden sandstone, Bellerophon and Werfen strata, and sarl dolomite.
