A really nice tour even at over 30 degrees.. there were always shady sections and the wind while cycling also cooled us down..

Just a short tour today, tomorrow I'll go over the Brenner Pass in a relaxed way.
The cyclists in South Tyrol are definitely different to the Italians 🤔. In Italy itself, 90% of cyclists greet each other, and the rate was high in the other countries before. Here in South Tyrol, 90% of cyclists don't greet each other back, and …

Not so many words today for a change: The route from Sterzing to Bruneck is almost entirely paved and leads (mostly) through great scenery, with the exception of the section along the motorway and the railway line to just before Brixen. The weather was great again, sunny and around 25 degrees. Anyone who has ever hiked or cycled in South …

We're standing in front of the hotel with our things and bikes packed. Well, there's no help for it. Let's go.
We wind our way through the countryside between the Brenner motorway, a railway line, and a river.
This cycle path winds beautifully through the countryside, with snow-capped mountain peaks appearing before us again and again.
We pass many beautiful …

The day begins early, with a cool breeze still hanging over the colorful facades of the Fugger town. The view sweeps to the Zillertal Alps, while the first rays of sun gild the Zwölferturm (Twelve Towers). After a last glance at the cobblestone streets, the tour begins – a gentle descent along the Eisack cycle path.

June 12, 2025,Bruneck - Sterzing
Looking back, the route from Bruneck to Sterzing was remarkably beautiful, relaxing, and strenuous at the same time, with everything that makes for a memorable tour, not least the signage and the surface. The first few meters involved a difficult crossing under the train station in Brunico, and we had to carry our bikes down, which is never particularly exciting. …

🚴🏽‍♀️👍.. today the rain caught up with us again🌧️. We started in Sterzing in the morning and arrived in Bruneck in the afternoon. A beautiful cycle path, the old Roman road. Short break in Aicha at the old linden tree and then continued under the Brennerstrasse towards Franzensfeste and along the reservoir towards Mühlbach 😋There was delicious 🍦ice cream at …

Yesterday evening a change in the weather was already announced loudly.
It was thundering pretty hard.
Then more rain at night. Unfortunately, things didn't look any better this morning. Hard to believe that it was so hot yesterday. This morning it was a refreshing 17°
We then started around 11 a.m. with an overcast sky but at least no rain.
