The starting point of today's hike is the fish pond in Anterselva di Sotto (1,100 m a.s.l.). We follow the signpost "Hofstatt Alm" and ascend through the forest. Soon we walk past a climbing garden and take the forest path thanks to which we gain altitude.
After a crossroads we can either continue along the large forest path we are on now or take the path to our left. We turn left and follow the narrow forest path no. 31 which seems more interesting. Following a steep initial ascent this path rejoins the forest path we walked along before. From here it is less than an hour to the malga Hofstatt (1,330 m a.s.l.) which we reach at lunchtime.
We enjoy a delicious lunch and the children have fun playing. For our return we take the forest path back to the fish pond which we reach after 45 minutes of walking. By the pond there is a fishing equipment rental, as well as a kiosk with a sunny terrace and a playground.
