Path no. 30 branches off to the left near the ridge, leading uphill to the west through the forest, reaching the Wolfsgrube pit (1,535m) on a flat plateau of the ridge. For the return route, follow path no. 30 further to the west. After about 800 meters, path no. 3 branches off to the left and returns via  Fisneid farm back to S. Pietro.
