Vineyard Pathway in Frühlingstal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Valley of Spring is a botanical landmark. Its geographical name is Fabióntal. Because the valley is sheltered from the wind and bathed in sunshine, spring begins a little earlier here than elsewhere.

We let the weather carry us from Venice to Kaltern in South Tyrol. We set off at 11 a.m. in 16-degree weather and cycled along the railway line and through the beautiful Etsch Valley to Merano for a stroll through the city. The apple orchards were bustling with activity due to the 🍎🍏 apple harvest. The weather was kind to …

Beautiful bike tour along the Adige. We also saw Bolzano before continuing on a beautiful railway path to Kaltern and then down to the Kalterer See. We really liked the turquoise water. But it was very crowded. We rode around the lake to Ora, where we took the train back to Meran. 👍👍👍

After a city tour in Merano, you continue along the Etsch to the Etsch-Eisack estuary on beautiful bike paths,
again past many apple tree plantations 🍏🍎. Unfortunately you don't cross any villages on this stage, so I left the bike path for a moment and made a trip to the city of Bolzano. The route to get there is on …
