Bergheim - Schmalzgrubenalm - Sellrain. This hike starts at the Eisbrücke car park and leads to the Alpengasthof Bergheim Fotsch alpine guesthouse, before continuing to the Furkesalm - Schmalzgrube and along route no. 13 via Tanneben to Sellrain.
This is an easy walking route in a northern and very sunny part of Axams where you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding villages. Along the way, you pass several benches and wayside crosses where you can stop for a break. The route can be walked in either direction.
The Path of Reflection leads hikers from Maria Locherboden in Mötz, through the village of Mieming and then on to the modern Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Church of the Holy Spirit) in Telfs. Along the way, twelve stations by young artists link messages from the bible with the facts of nature and the possibilities of art.
The duration of the hike depends on your personal pace and how long you spend at each station. To enjoy a really relaxing walk and take full advantage of the peace and quiet, you should plan on at least half a day for the entire route.
