The path stats from the parish church along the Luis Trenker Promenade until the hous “Bera Lui”. Right behind it, on the playground, turn left and there rises a path that brings you to the Grohmann street. At the curve, close to the Nis farm you reach the beginning of the Grohmann trail, you go through shady valleys and pretty meadow slopes that takes you to the monument. From there you can continue walking for 15 minutes to S. Giacomo, and visit the overlying S. Giacomo Church, walking 20 minutes more.
