Günther-Messner-Steig

Rundweg vom Russiskreuz über Aferer Geiseln, Peitlerscharte und Rodelwiesen zur Russisbrücke. Eine Eisenleiter und ein paar Stahlseile sind vorhanden (Klettersteigstufe A, Umgehbare Stelle B). Abstecher zum Tullen (+0.5h) und Peitlerkofel (+2h) möglich.

Covering 17.1 km, this is a substantial hike requiring a reasonable base fitness. Most walkers complete it in about 3 hours and 49 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
