June 17, 2025,Da Brunico ad un passo dal cielo su ciclabile
At times I took the panoramic variant on the way out, always very well indicated by signs and paint on the asphalt. Some stretch of beaten dirt road in the woods, pleasant. The Braies side, at 7 pm on a June evening, is sparsely populated and regains its charm. Spectacular there entrance to Brunico downhill in the two tunnels that …

Today I'm driving half-power up to Lake Braies, a little Sunday excursion. A pretty beautiful spot on earth, but also bombarded with Asian bus convoys :) and sausage in a bun for €10, that's just how it is ☺️
The twinge in my thigh still can't be gently relieved, hopefully it will still carry me over the Brenner Pass to …

The vacation was actually planned a little differently, but sometimes the weather doesn't stick to the agreement. The temperatures in Italy are colder than in Germany and the clouds hang low between the mountains.
But the weather gods left a small gap in the rain. Just right for a tour to the tourist magnet, the Pragser Wildsee.
From our accommodation …

It rained all night. After breakfast, it was dry but overcast.
The final 2km climb to Lake Braies is worth it. A unique panorama of the lake nestled in the mountains.
However, you have to share the lake with hundreds of tourists who arrive by bus or car.
Departure to the accommodation in pouring rain.

Given the strenuous 🥵 tour yesterday, we spontaneously changed our plans and are staying an extra day in South Tyrol.

First, we went 30 km until just before Toblach. We already knew the "Olympia" campsite 🏕️ from two years ago, a great place and the highlight is the heated pool 🏊 which we naturally used.

Everything was there today. Bright sunshine, not too hot, around 25°C. Then from noon onwards a thunderstorm, a 10° drop in temperature and up the mountain to the lake in the pouring rain. No photos taken because of all the water. Then the remaining 15km in the pouring rain to the hotel. These are the Alps. Yesterday the heat was …
