Highlight • Viewpoint
We started comfortably in Burgusio and climbed up the Reschenpass on dirt roads, first along the HaiderSee and then to the right along the ReschenSee - around the ReschenSee and back to the left of the lakes (35 km, almost 500 meters in altitude in 2 1/2 hours : )
P.S. the 📷 recordings are from two different days, so the ReschenSee is sometimes smooth as glass and sometimes a little rougher 🌬

After we moved into our pension, we got on our bikes and did a little tour around Lake Reschen to get in the mood for our vacation. A beautiful area here and there are currently not that many people out and about here

Gorgeous colors, mountains in the background, and a bike path right along the lake. Especially on the west side, the bike path is very beautiful, up and down, beautifully adapted to the landscape (flowy 😉). If it weren't for the constant photo stops, but on a day like today, that was …

Surprisingly, the west side of the lake was paved throughout
The east side cannot be used continuously with a racing bike - you have to switch to the busy road, which is also the fuller side when it comes to pedestrians on the combined bike / pedestrian path.
