Hike: Western "Gsell"
- A hidden gem for nature lovers
- Secluded path in the nature park
- Particularly popular in early summer for its flower meadows
Coming from the Pustertal valley, turn into the Sextnertal valley in Innichen. Coming from the Kreuzberg pass, follow the main road to the entrance of the Innerfeldtal valley (between Innichen and Sexten)
From the district heating plant in Sexten, follow the forest path marked No. 12B and hike steadily uphill through the Gselltal valley. The path is steep in places but easily accessible through shady forest to the summit of the Außergsell. From there, continue along a somewhat flatter ridge on trail No. 12 to the Innergsell. The extensive mountain meadows are a colorful sea of blossoms, especially in summer. The descent follows trail No. 12 into the Fischleintal valley, where you take the Sexten circular trail (trail No. 1) back to the starting point at the district heating plant. There are no managed huts along the entire route, so it is recommended to bring sufficient provisions – numerous idyllic spots along the way invite you to have a picnic. The duration given is for the outward and return journeys.
