The Akademikersteig is an easy forest trail that leads from the village of Götzens to the village of Birgitz (or vice versa) in about an hour. In Götzens, the path branches off below the M-Preis supermarket. The start of the trail offers beautiful views of the Vellenberg castle ruins. In Birgitz, the forest path ends at a road that leads south, directly to the village centre. 


Just before leaving the forest, you can take the turnoff towards the "Hohe Birga" excavation site. This archaeological site is just a five minute walk away and a very worthwhile detour. The Rätermuseum (Raetic Museum) in the centre of Birgitz is also well worth a visit.

Forecast

On Tuesday, high pressure will finally return to us! Thicker clouds are only expected in the morning where a few last showers may fall. Later on, it will brighten up and stay dry.

Tendency

Until Friday, we will only see little change. On Saturday, southerly winds will bring increasingly mild but also more humid air masses to our region. Thanks to foehn winds, the sun will however break through at time.
