The church tower of the village of Alt-Graun, which sunk when the lake was dammed, is an impressive photo motif at any time of the year.

Historic Old Town Glurns / Glorenza

Highlight • Historical Site

Glurns, the smallest town in South Tyrol, impresses with its completely preserved city walls and medieval flair. Winding alleys, arcades, and defensive towers create the town's historic charm and invite exploration.

September 28, 2021,Radtour Reschensee - Plaus 28.09.2021 17:50

The weather really cooperated and so after a shuttle bus transfer that was already wonderful for us flatland Tyroleans, we went on one of the most beautiful bike tours in South Tyrol.
It started at Lake Reschen and with a few stops back to Plaus.
Z. B. Glurns, with its complete city wall and the old buildings, was very popular. …

July 16, 2023,Fahrradtour von Nauders nach Naturns

We rode from Nauders to Naturns today, it was mostly downhill, but we had a very strong headwind. There was a lot to see on the way, some of which can be seen in the photos. The cycle paths are mostly well developed, there are only a few sections as split paths.

May 10, 2024,Vom Reschensee zum Gardasee Tag 1

From Lake Reschen to Naturno

An easy route, steadily downhill, through the lush green orchards of the Vinschgau. You can already see the first tiny fruits on the trees.

The cycle path is well marked throughout, mostly on tarred or paved agricultural paths. To the right and left of the valley there are castles and fortresses, steep slopes and snow-capped …

June 20, 2024,Via Claudia Augusta - Tag 4 - Nauders nach Naturns

We set off from Nauders in slightly cool temperatures. From the height of Glurns/Schluderns it got warmer again.
This time we decided to go to the west bank of Lake Reschen. The route does have a few meters more elevation and you can only see the tourist hotspot "church tower of Altgraun" from a distance, but the route is fantastically …

October 5, 2024,VCA, Tag 5, von Nauders bis Rabland

On the Etschtal cycle path to Rabland (just before Merano).
Late summer warmth. By midday I wanted to ride in a T-shirt :-)
Well-developed cycle path. The direction was right too (downhill :-)
The first snow on the heights. The apple harvest in the valley.

August 3, 2024,4 - Von Nauders nach Naturns

Even though the Reschen Pass still requires a bit of a climb and the western shore of Lake Reschen is a constant up and down, the descent along the Etsch is indescribably beautiful and the brakes are used to the extreme.
A wonderful day of descent.
