Passo delle Erbe / Würzjoch (1987 m)

There is a famous view of Seceda nearby. You might make it there if you are quick or divert a route there instead of the Sass Rigais via ferrata the next day.

The famous Via alta 2 also shares a part via Forcella Mont dal'Ega (2642 m) pass here.

Rifugio Ncisles / Firenze / Regensburgerhütte (2037 m)

7.5 h: 16.7 km 1000 m up over 2630 m 1000 m down (4.7 h moving)

Mostly easy hike with two steep climbs; the second one in a scree.

Meadows
Rifugio Genova / Schlüterhütte (2306 m) midway offers an opportunity to refresh. They are a part of a local food path, that marks quality local food.

Rifugio Ncisles / Firenze / Regensburgerhütte (2037 m)

Nice sunrises and sunsets at the start (and end) of the hike.

Worth taking a walk in meadows towards sheds at the Biotop Börz / Würzjochmoos.

What's nearby:

Via ferrata as a side-trip from the pass Furcela da Mesdì.

Side-trip: Via Ferrata Sass Rigais (3025 m): moderately difficult

2 h: 2.9 km 440 m up over 3025 m 440 m down (1.5 h moving)

Difficulty B/C: 3-4 h: 2h+ from the Mittagsscharte - Furcela da Mesdì (2600 m) pass.

The time at max speed, breathing hard:) I was speeding because I did it just alone and didn't want my slower half to wait for me too long.

Some do it as a longer round trip, traversing via the eastern peak back to the Ncisles hut instead.

The higher path (as we did it) is technically a bit harder, so better to climb up. You also save some climbing altitude in this direction.

There used to be a gap to cross, but it was bridged by a log.

There are nice views from the very top. Otherwise, I did not find it that interesting.

The direct path to Santa Maddalena is just a hike crossing the pass Mittagsscharte - Furcela da Mesdì (2600 m).

There is a nice Waldschenke restaurant with a good cuisine at the end of the descent to Santa Maddalena. But its kitchen is not alway open – check times if you want to eat!

Bus 200 m above Maddalena

It's better to climb up a bit to the Pineid bus station above the Santa Maddalena village for a direct (mini) bus.

There are two small churches at very photogenic spots on the way, so it's a nice walk instead of waiting for the connection.

Bus back: Pineid bus station – Passo delle Erbe /Würzjoch (1987 m): 7:48-16:48: 1h.

The bus did not go exactly on time. Neither the schedule printed on the bus stop nor than Google Maps schedule. It might be wise to be there a couple of minutes in advance.
