Gailtal cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From here you don't feel like driving in Germany or Austria anymore. You can tell by the smell, the plants, the stones - the south is near. :)

Stone railway tunnel on the Alpe Adria Cycle Path

Highlight • Structure

Not every tunnel is a highlight, but the route is very nice for cycling.
This time we waited for a rain shower.

Alpe Adria Cycle Path with Mountain Views

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful route. Unfortunately, about 10km before Venzone the old cycle path is buried and you have to switch to the busy road.

...a very well-developed cycle path! In some places a section is missing and you have to look for the continuation! 🔍

June 27, 2024,Sommerradtour 2024 Etappe 12 von Pontebba nach Villach

Stage 12. A very relaxed day of cycling. We started in Pontebba. We quickly filled up our water supplies at the drinking fountain, then continued on the railway line for the first 20km to Tarvisio. Not quite as spectacular bridges and tunnels as yesterday, but fantastic views of the Julian Alps. The route goes uphill the whole time, but you …

A very beautiful, varied tour from Sattendorf to Pontebba. Pontebba is a nice, lively place nestled between steep mountains. I wonder if tomatoes ripen there.

June 1, 2025,😎🇱🇻🇮🇹🚲🚲🍷🍕Von Villach nach Pontafel 4. Etappe

After a quiet night, a good breakfast, and a packed lunch, we set off on the fourth stage.
In great cycling weather, we cycled the first 20km leisurely along the Gail River.
We got very close to the border with Slovenia (10km).
Back to cycling, a Berrrg kept us busy for the next 20km.

I only started at around 10.30 a.m. in Pontebba and then went to Camporossa - with little incline - but always nice and steady "uphill" on the Alpe-Adria cycle path 😁😂.

Really beautiful views awaited me again on this route 🤩✌️.

August 13, 2023,Transalp Tag 9: Von Chiusaforte über Tarvisio nach Villach〽️🌞☑️

Today we managed the last stage of our crossing of the Alps. We rode the Munich-Venice cycle path from Lenggries, skipped the last part through the Po Valley to Venice and instead rode east along the Alps from Vittorio Veneto until we came across the Alpe-Adria cycle path. We cycled through this to Villach. And tomorrow comes the biggest adventure, …
