Leave the path here and cross the main road to ascend steeply into the village center of Tesido. 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 Puster Valley state road and run along the dam wall to the Puster Valley bike path. From there, follow the lake back to Monguelfo.
