Earth, water, air and fire - the four elements accompany nature lovers and hikers on the seven themed trails in Gais. From the easy valley hike and family-freindly circular trail with places to play through to the challenging course high above the villages, there is something to suit every preference. There are information panels telling about the influence of the four elements on the local people, nature and cultural landscape, highlighting their importance throughout history to the present day.
The Valley Floor Trail can be taken from Uttenheim in two directions. If you'd llike to explore the Tauferer Tal Valley, you should follow the trail to the north, first proceeding along an alluvial fan and then through the shadowy forest until you reach Mühlen in Taufers. When proceeding to the south, the trail rises slightly till the "Neuhaus" Castle. You'll pass by a beautiful outlook point and will be surrounded by seemingly mystical trees. Finally, you will reach Gais and go on to St. Georgen via the "Maurach" Trail.
