The section leads from Kaltern down to the Adige River near Bolzano. The ride descends through vineyards, deciduous forest, and two tunnels, winding along the slopes. This provides remarkable views, such as those of Simundskrona.

The route partly follows secondary roads, where tractor traffic is permitted, so be careful.

Purely enjoyable cycling on what is partly a former railway line.

Überetsch cycle path: Bozen - Eppan – Kaltern

The cycle route connects the city of Bolzano with the wine-growing region between Eppan and Kaltern and with Lake Kaltern

From Bolzano the route leads along the Eisack south to the “Meran - Eppan” junction. Here the path follows the Etsch for a few km to the north, then it goes to Eppan/Kaltern over a half-timbered bridge. Here, under Sigmundskron Castle, the path begins to climb slightly.

The Überetscher Railway used to run at this point. The cycle path winds up through the wine country between Girlan and Frangart, passes through a few tunnels and finally, after an underpass, reaches St. Michael. From the former St. Michael Eppan train station, we continue south, the path runs parallel to the street until we reach the “Kreuzweg” settlement.

On the old route of the Überetscher Railway - including (illuminated) tunnels and bridges - and thanks to the limited climbing ability of railways, only with very gentle gradients.

However, be careful in the forest when it is wet, as the path is very slippery in places.
