This beautiful trail takes through to the so called “Kingdom of King Laurin” situated between the summit of the Rosengarten and Vajolet towers. However it is only recommended for well equipped and trained people with via ferrata experience and good physical condition.

The via ferrata starts behind the hut (mark S) and leads to King Laurin's rose garden. The via ferrata is equipped with steel-ropes and lathers and is sometimes exposed and steep. Via ferrata equipment is absolutely necessary. After going over the Santner pass (Passo Santner) at the end of the via ferrata and also highest point of the route at 2730m head on along path no. 542 and walk past the Santer and Re Alberto hut situated between the Rosengarten and the Vajolet towers before reaching the Vajolet hut after a steep descend.

After reaching the hut head on along path no. 549 in westerly direction towards the Christomannos Monument and finally take path no. 539 which takes back to the Paolina hut.
