Eine schwierige Tour, die zuerst berghoch auf einer Nebenstraße, später auf Schotterstraße auf den 2.486 m hohen Telegraph führt. Die Aussicht dort über das Eisacktal ist einzigartig. Die Uphill-Bemühungen werden mit einem langen Downhill hinunter nach Brixen belohnt. 

An easy tour around the town with its villages, lakes and nice places.
