August 8, 2022,Etsch-Radweg Tag2 von Latsch nach Frangart

On the 2nd day, we continue from Latsch to Frangarto, past Kastelbell, Naturns and, of course, Meran as a highlight. At the power plant in Töll you will always find stands with fruit and specialties from South Tyrol. After crossing the main road, you drive past a beautiful, shady arbor with a wonderful view of Forst and Meran. From here, …

July 20, 2023,VCA: Tag6: Morter - Bozen

Starting in Morter, the first few kilometers went along small farm roads through orchards back to the Via Claudia Augusta.
After a few kilometers we were able to marvel at the Castellbello, how magnificently it towers above our route on the mountain.
We continued through huge orchards. Apples are mainly grown here. The permanently installed irrigation systems ensure sufficient water. …

May 24, 2024,🇮🇹 Via Claudia Augusta #4: Bozen - Meran - Morter

Today from Bolzano to Merano and then on towards the Reschenpass to Morters. The nice weather meant there was a lot going on on the Etsch cycle path and in Merano. But the route was nicer with great views and Merano as a stopover.

Today you cycled the first stage on the way to Lake Garda. Fantastically beautiful weather and almost always along the Adige. Lunch break in Merano. Very nice but also very crowded.

June 9, 2023,🟢 Berge & Flüsse 23 🌞 8️⃣ 🇮🇹 Bezauberndes Meran!

The first hot summer day here, 32 degrees. Not a difficult stage today - and this attitude has consequences. We stroll through South Tyrol and take every little village with us. We are enthusiastic about Goldrain, Latsch, Staben, Kastelbell, Naturns, Töll and others and completely forget the time. From the landmark "Trauttmannsdorffer Throne Chair" we get our first high-level view …
