August 6, 2024,Von Brixen nach Sterzing

Beautiful tour in the best weather from Brixen to Sterzing - great cycle path and well suited for the first experiences with an e-bike (which is quite practical in the Alps).

May 25, 2022,Von Sterzing nach Kaltern. Tour Tag 3.0

Well, the last part to Kaltern should actually be the easiest.😐 But it rained so much that we saved ourselves to Brixen and took the train from there to Bolzano. The weather was better and we went up to Caldaro to eat a pizza. 😀

A very nice and varied tour. Return by train after my wife objected. She refused to return by bike.

What I find a bit of a shame.... I prefer round tours, which unfortunately is not the case here in that sense. But I could have known that beforehand, now it was also a joint trip with a few girls.

July 10, 2023,It's just the Brenner to be passed : München - Bozen Tag 4 a: Bozen (hier nur bis Brixen)

Due to the high temperatures, Komoot (or the mobile phone) almost got off twice, once in Brixen. Therefore, today's day is divided into 2 tours.

Actually, I finally wanted to see the Franzensfeste after I've driven past so many times by train or car. From the outside it already makes an impression, this fortress designed to control the Isarco Valley …

Today we took the bus to the Gilfenklamm parking lot. Then changed to the bus and drove to the upper Gilfenklamm entrance. We walked down the gorge. Then back to the coach and on with the bikes to Vipiteno and on to Mühlbach. The route was always up and down but on paved paths.
