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 🌬

Trail Reviews
Another lap around the lake in the evening. We always wanted to do that. Always drove past. Now we made it.
Arrival in the best weather in South Tyrol at Lake Reschen. 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
Since we still had so much time between the hike and dinner and even the small sauna round didn't take that much time, we spontaneously borrowed 2 hotel wire donkeys and drove around the Reschensee with a lot of breaks to chill and enjoy the views.
Due to the low water, it is possible to walk around the listed church tower in Lake Reschen.
A very beautiful and easy circular tour. We like to do it as a break for exercise on the way to South Tyrol and Lake Garda.
Tour of the lake on a quiet cycle path with a continuous view of the lake. The side opposite the town of Curon is an up and down with some short climbs but not to be underestimated for those who are not trained, but with calm it can be done. The side of the town of Curon is all flat. The submerged bell tower is typical.
What a great "Giro al lago di Resia" (🚴🏽♂️)! 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 a must. The very low water level even allowed us to walk around the church in the water with dry feet.
Bike tour with the MTB to see the area 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.
