The old mills of Bulla, a hamlet situated above Ortisei, were built in the 18th-19th century and were used to grind the locally grown cereals. The hike starts from the bus stop in Bulla and follows the steep street to the farmhouses Tuene and Kontot, follow the trail 3A until you get to a street. Take the street upward for 300 meters and then turn left downhill along the rill to the mills. The path continues in direction of the church and brings you again to the bus stop.
