Brunico Historic Center

Highlight • Settlement

Bruneck is the only town in South Tyrol named after its founder, Prince-Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg. Located at the confluence of the Ahr and Rienz, Bruneck was first mentioned in documents in 1256 AD. Ideally located for holidaymakers in both summer and winter, the district of Reischach (940 to 990 metres) and behind it the Plan de Corones (2,275 metres), the northernmost peak of the Dolomites, are located near Bruneck.

Bruneck Cycle Tunnel

Highlight • Cycleway

From Bruneck city center on Graben, we head east along the southern embankment of the Rienz. The route soon leads past the sports facilities through the forest, after a tunnel we reach the Roman road, which takes us to the shady Unterwielenbach. This side road with little traffic takes us further to Olang, which consists of the three towns of Niederolang, Mitterolang and Oberolang that we drive through.
There is a short, steep descent past the cemetery, then the cycle path branches off to the right. The unpaved but good gravel road runs along the south bank of Lake Olanger through the forest to Welsberg. After bypassing the town, the path leads to the entrance to the Braies Valley, known for Lake Braies and the Dolomites of Braies, and on to Niederdorf.
Following the Frau-Emma-Straße in Niederdorf, which leads through the town center, you soon continue through green meadows on a dirt path to Dobbiaco. Past the train station, which is outside the village center, the cycle route continues along field paths to Innichen.

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

You are spoiled for choice between the busy main road and the gravel road around the lake. Highly graveled way on the lake is recommended

Paved Cycle Path Towards Lago di Braies

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The main road is known to be very busy. For the first part of the route, however, there is a tarred alternative - with several drinking water fountains. The starting point of the ascent is directly on the Pustertal long-distance cycle path.

Lake Braies north shore

Highlight • Lake

Lake Braies has a unique location in the middle of the Braies Dolomites and in the northern part of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park. The geological origin of the "Pearl of the Dolomite Lakes", as the emerald green lake is often called, is due to the creation of a dam through a mud flap.

Lake Braies also plays a role in the world of legends, because it was said that you could reach the underground realm of the Fanes by boat. The gateway to the underworld was at the southern end of the lake, where the imposing Seekofel (2,810 m) dominates the lake. It is not for nothing that this summit of the Braies Dolomites, coveted by mountaineers, bears the name "Sass dla Porta", meaning Torberg. Lake Braies is also the starting point for numerous mountain tours in the area and the Dolomite high-altitude trail no. 1 starts here. From the surrounding mountains you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake.

The only drawback: the lake is a very popular tourist destination. Visually beautiful, you won't find the tranquility of the mountains here.
