Nach einem l ngeren Anstieg kommt man erst zum Dorf Fideris, das auf der freundlichen, gr nen Anh he liegt. Von da geht es weiter in die Berge hinein, bis das einsame Geb ude des Badeortes auftaucht, berall von felsigen H hen umgeben.

Es s he alles ziemlich d ster aus, wenn nicht berall aus dem niederen Weidegras die sch nen Bergbl mchen mit ihren gl nzenden Farben hervorguckten.
