I've often heard that Trieste isn't quite Italian. Now I've seen it for myself. Trieste looks very different from the Italian cities I've seen so far.
At almost every corner, you can see the influence of the Habsburgs on the architecture. Seeing the many imposing buildings from the late 19th century

On today's stage, I wondered beforehand what the last 25 kilometers would be like. As in real life, as well as during bike rides in Italy, I avoid contact with SS as much as possible. But on the way to Trieste, it could not be avoided. A stretch of SS14 (Strada Statale 14), before it became SR14, was

I wanted to separate the longer break in Parco Miramare from the bike tour. I now always have a second GPS device with me, today I used it for the first time for a walk. During the first break, I noticed, unfortunately with the wrong settings. While strolling through the park, I was too slow, so the

Now I know that my leg can also handle walks.
And Grado seems to me almost exclusively suitable for swimming and boating. The sea, sometimes very far from the promenade, and the many small boats on the lagoon side were almost the only beautiful thing I saw.

After yesterday's fall, my leg is already doing quite well again today. Cycling went quite well yesterday, and walking is also going quite well again today.
I had expected more gravel on the route, and was then ultimately a bit surprised how many well-developed cycle paths there were.
P.S.: About 5.5 kilometers

Today, after a long time, it happened to me again. Around kilometer 30, a small stream crosses the narrow bike path at the apex of a left turn. I must have hit a slippery spot on the cemented channel, .. and down I went. Cycling is fine without any restrictions, it's just a bit bumpy when walking. Let

Today my first destination was Chioggia, the little sister of Venice, also overrun for once. However, it wasn't due to tourists, it was due to market day. The entire Corso del Popolo, about a kilometer long, was full of stalls and visitors. But unlike Venice, probably mostly locals.
I then preferred to

This is now the second time I'm riding this loop. In May, I switched to Porto Garibaldi on the other side of the Via Romea (SS309), which should be avoided if possible. There, I sometimes almost got stuck on sandy dirt roads. Often beautiful, but also often very difficult to ride.
Therefore, this time

Today there was quite a lot of road under the bike. Some of it quite busy. In terms of the route, the sections on the dikes of the Po and Reno are by far the most beautiful. The rest almost only serves as a connection between Ferrara and Ravenna. Both actually deserve a longer stay.
The wind annoyed me

Today I had a rather bumpy journey. I actually wanted to start in Padua by bike, but in the end I took the train to Rovigo.
With a 40-minute delay at the start in Munich, which according to the display on the train shortened to 25 minutes until shortly before Padua, only to then suddenly disappear almost

Today the focus was on sightseeing in Meran. After a short, beautiful ride, we stored our luggage and bicycles at Papin Sport at the train station in Meran and then spent time in Meran until our train departed (4:16 PM), after we had changed.
Especially the historic part, but also the Passer promenades

Today, after breakfast, we first took the train to Trento. Today's sightseeing part with Trento was right at the beginning of the tour.
After that, until Bozen, there were only two longer breaks with some wine and also some bacon. The first at Bicigrill Faedo (a wine with a grandiose view), the second

Today too, there were two slightly longer sightseeing stops during the tour. One in Klausen, a very nice little town (but we didn't go up to the monastery) and a second one at Runkelstein Castle (on the Talfer above Bolzano).

Not everything was on foot, on the steep section right at the beginning I treated myself to the cable car tram. As unproblematic as I found the journey by bike, I wouldn't have liked to be on the road by bike in Trieste. Few bike paths, a lot of fast traffic, here you need other two-wheelers, scooters
