Leave the path here and cross the main road to ascend steeply into the village center of Taisten. Pass by the wayside shrine and the parish church until you reach the hill above the Alpen Tesitin hotel, then pass by the Unterrainer farms along the Unterrainer road, descending to the Alte Goste hotel. Here, cross the Pustertal Valley state road and run along the dam wall to the Pustertal Valley bike path. From there, follow the lake back to Welsberg. The route is mostly sunny but also offers shaded sections and is particularly well-suited for experienced runners, as it features many climbs and a wide variety of difficulty levels.
