Map & path towards the Three Peaks

Helpful facts

At the bus stop "Ausserprags" at the tourist office the bus #443 goes up to Plätzwiesen. On arrival, shortly after the Plätzwiesen mountain inn, the path #40 Dolomitenhöhenweg goes moderately steeply on the left for a few hundred metres until it branches off to the right onto path #40a. This leads above the Prato Piazza alpine huts, over to a road. This leads straight on to the Dürrenstein hut or left up over the Strudelkopf saddle with the fortress building from the 1st World War. From this historic building it is not far to the panorama mountain Strudelkopf with the "Heimkehrerkreuz" in memory of the two world wars. From this panoramic peak you can enjoy unforgettable views of the Three Peaks and Monte Cristallino. The descent is first on the trail back to Sattel and from there left on the Dolomiten-Höhenweg #3 to the managed Dürrensteinhütte. The way down into the valley is via the Schluderbach-Plätzwiesen forest road #37, which can be shortened 4 times very easily to noticeably shorten the distance. Berets after about 1 kilometer after the hut is the first shortcut. This path #37 ends at the federal road with a small parking lot. From here, turn left about 500 m past the Ploner house to Lake Dürrensee, where there is a bus stop from where bus #444 regularly leaves for Lago Antorno.
