Via Claudia Augusta
Across the Alps from FÜSSEN to QUARTO d’ALTINO-VENICE – sporty
Your transalpine cycle trip starts from the foot of Ammergebirge mountain range and from the idyllic Forggensee. Past the Füssener Lechfall, the cycle path continues along the Lech into Tyrol's Ausserfern. The rugged elegance of the Lechtal Alps and the Zugspitze mountains flank the cycle path as far as the Ehrwalder Becken, a protected moorland, in whose subsurface parts of a Roman “beating road” of the Via Claudia Augusta are preserved. From Biberwier an organised shuttle-transfer takes you to Fernsteinsee Castle and the cycle path takes you through the picturesque Gurgltal (Gurgl Valley) and into the Upper Inn Valley. A sporty, serpentine ascent of approx. 700 meters awaits you between Pfunds and Nauders on the Reschenpass. From the Reschensee in South Tyrol, the Adige Cycle Path leads along the river through the sun-drenched Vinschgau to the spa town of Merano and on to the Castelfeder holiday region. The vineyards are already emitting a southern flair, blending into the landscape with their sweeping lines and allowing the South Tyrolean lowlands to merge seamlessly into Trentino and its glamorous capital Trento. As a reward for the ascent to Alta Valsugana, a magnificent view opens up into the thermal region of the Suganer Valley, whose cycle path along the Brenta River accompanies you almost to Feltre. Behind you, the graceful hills of the world-famous Prosecco growing area of Valdobbiadene, your way leads you through tranquil villages and historically significant cities like Treviso, before Quarto d’Altino is reached, the destination of your journey. By train you can reach the centre of Venice directly and nothing stands in the way of a long stroll in the Serenissima with its palazzi and art treasures.
