Quellenhof Covered Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Between Sorgente and Saltusio, this wooden bridge is a great way to cross the Passirio stream by bike or on foot. Easily, looking towards the river, you might notice people canoeing down it.

St. Leonhard in Passeier Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

You simply have to stop here and feast your eyes. The house, completely covered in green and gorgeous flowers, is an absolute eye-catcher. And you'll hardly believe it, but behind it lies great gastronomy.

You shouldn't miss this route👍👍👍! Always next to the Passer rushing wildly down into the valley, you cycle moderately up to St. Leonberg on a super cycle path. Since we still had time and energy (physically and battery-wise) for a few bends😉 we drove another 9km up the old pass road to Platt. Very narrow and narrow (sometimes a car …

A nice tour along the Passer. From Sankt Leonhard it goes uphill. Certainly pleasant in the summer, as there is a lot of shade. Again and again you have a beautiful view of the Timmelsjoch. In Breiteben is a nice inn to stop and strengthen. Then we went on to Platt. From the church you have a great view of …

Unfortunately, Komoot offered me a fairly bumpy route for the route behind St. Leonard, the E5 hiking trail. A rocky path, sometimes a construction site. It was difficult to make progress here, so I didn't have the strength for the final climb. From the toll station onwards, the road was probably closed due to snow anyway. I drove down the …

With 20-24°C and 🌤️, today we finished off with a short bike ride through the Passeier Valley.

From Rifiano down to the Passiria River and along the Passiria Valley Cycle Path to beyond St. Leonard, the start of the Passiria Gorge Trail, created in 2015. From here, the route is only accessible on foot.
