The perfect place to rest. From here you have an incredibly beautiful view of Merano and the valley, in the background the mountains, just fantastic. For resting there are also tables and benches.

September 21, 2025,Vom Dorf Tirol in den Vintschgau… Etschtalradweg

To kick things off and acclimatize, we took a brisk bike ride downhill to Algund. From there, we cycled along the Etschtal cycle path to Latsch and back.

A stop at the Kesslwirt was, of course, a must. Delicious beer from their own brewery. 👍🚵🏻🚵🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️😎

September 10, 2021,Via Claudia Augusta - Etappe 4 - von Schlanders nach Dorf Tirol

Today the shortest stage, almost 40km and we were in Dorf Tirol, where we will stay for a few days to hike.
On the way countless apple orchards lined up in the entire Vintschgau, nice to look at with the flawless apples, but very monotonous.

October 30, 2022,Comebackversuch im Vinschgau

It's strange to finally be back biking after almost two months! A few noticed that after our last tour in Leipzig (komoot.de/tour/911270597) our bikes involuntarily decided to change hands. And since the public prosecutor's office in Leipzig is hopelessly overwhelmed, we're still waiting for the money from the insurance company...

July 2, 2025,2025 Tag 5 Von Schlanders nach Völlan

Today was essentially a rest day for the tour. From Schlanders, we followed the Etsch cycle path to the Trauttmansdorff Throne Chair, a beautifully landscaped vantage point overlooking the Etsch Valley all the way to Merano. A short ride down the switchbacks and across the Etsch to the Forstbräu brewery, where we had a lunch break. A short detour through …

Adige, Passer, Panorama & Train Chaos 🚴‍♂️😅

We made a brisk journey along the Passer towards Merano – perfect bike path, stunning scenery, simply picture-perfect South Tyrol! 🌄☀️

From Merano, we wanted to continue by train to Mals… well, wanted to. The train currently only runs as far as Laas 🚉🙄 – and that with just one bike compartment. Pure …

October 23, 2023,Etschradweg – Kastelbell Runde von Rabland

From Rabland on the Etsch cycle path to Latsch. Then up to Tarsch and across the northern slope. There were a few hairpin bends in the downhill. We took the Lupotrail and walked along a beautiful S0 trail along the slope (unfortunately cycling is not allowed). A local hiker came by and said we could drive through, so we did. …
