    The Alpine Pasture Hike starts at the club house (Vereinshaus) in Obertelfes/Telves di Sopra. On easy trails (marked no. 5) you climb gently for about an hour up to the first Alpine pasture, the Freundalm (refreshments available). The hike continues up on trail no. 5, and then no. 6, to the Ochsenalm (refreshments available). From there, quite a flat trail leads eastwards and in a few minutes you reach the Kuhalm (refreshments available). Descend on trail no. 5B as far as just below the Freundalm where it meets the trail you climbed upon, which you now follow back to Obertelfes.

    Entlang des Weges trifft man auch auf den Witwenbrunnen, einer Quelle deren Namen einer alten Sage entstammt:

    Die Telfer Bergknappen verdienten gut im Bergwerk und wurden übermütig. Sie zogen einem Ochsen bei lebendigem Leibe die Haut ab und brieten ihn am Spieß. Als Strafe für diese Tat ließ Gott den Stollen über den Knappen einstürzen. Ein Bauer sah dies und ging den Ehefrauen der Bergleute entgegen, die täglich zum Stollen hochstiegen um ihren Männern das Essen zu bringen. Unterwegs hielten sie Rast bei einer Quelle. Dort traf sie der Bauer und erzählte ihnen was geschehen war. Seitdem wird diese Quelle der Wittwenbrunnen genannt.
