St. Oswald Chapel (Meran 2000)
Highlight • Religious Site
In 1641, the farmers of Hafling vowed to build a chapel at the foot of the Ifinger for St. Oswald, patron saint of livestock and pastureland, and to make a procession there at the feast of his name. The old chapel remained in its original location for almost 250 years until it gave way to a new building in 1879.
On the 5th of August, the day of St. Oswald, the annual "Oswald Kirchtag" takes place: a prayer tour to the chapel with field mass and the following church day.

Falzeben Cable Car Parking
Highlight • Parking
The tour suggestions listed above are the more popular ones. I recommend a slightly less well-known, leisurely circular tour for hikers who are more interested in nature and looking for solitude.
The circular hike begins at the car park in Hafling/Falzeben (1,609m). From there, marked path no. 14 leads up to the Zuegghütte and further to the Rotwandhütte (1,817m).
Alternatively, you can take the cable car to Piffing and, following path 14, you will reach the "Wieser Schüpfl" after a few minutes. Here, forest path no. 17 branches off to the right, which leads over the Sinichbach to the Maiser Alm (1,783m) and Moschwaldalm (1,760m). After the huts, follow path no. 51 to the right, over the steep slope (which is particularly challenging on the descent) for about 15 minutes, then cross the Sinichbach to return to the starting point in Falzeben.
For a rest stop, I recommend the Maiser Alm, which is somehow more tranquil, natural and welcoming. On the other hand, the view from the nearby Moschwaldalm is more attractive (but therefore more crowded).
