Turn-by-turn directions
From the centre of Kortsch above Schlanders, the tour leads upwards to the small church of St. Ägidius until path no. 6A detours to the left. A steep route leads through the vineyards up to Zaalwaal. From here, it leads westwards to the "Kortscher Leiten" meadows past two former mills.
The sports ground above Kortsch is the Zaalwaal trail destination. There the ancient irrigation channel follows the underground tube systems.
