It's hard to stop here. The bike rolls downhill so nicely. But it's worth it to get in the brakes at Alp Gastilun. The trees are felled, the stumps are still standing, the view is not restricted by anything.

My tip: The road behind the Alp Gastilun still boot, time about 15-20 min., These are worthwhile in any case. On the one hand, in the summer the dessert is on the roadside (wild strawberries), on the other hand, the view is hard to top. It has a fire pit with bench, wood is enough around (watch out for drought and wind).
We used to have an August fire here 😉
