In the footsteps of the Blauburgunder – Fleimstalbahn cycle route

This tour takes you from Neumarkt im Etschtal through picturesque wine and fruit growing areas and the Trudner Horn Nature Park to a panoramic hill on the San Lugano pass. You are traveling on the disused Fiemme Valley Railway line.

On the route you will discover a spectacular landscape with great panoramic views of the South Tyrolean lowlands. You cycle through the best locations for Pinot Noir and the native Lagrein variety. On the way you will also pass the ruins of Castelfeder Castle, which you can take a detour to. And you can expect a fascinating viaduct and several old tunnels that are still left over from the railway line.

Finally you reach the destination of the tour in the town of San Lugano, at the pass of the same name. Here you can have a leisurely stop at the end and replenish your energy reserves. If you want to cycle back again, just take the same path, which is almost all downhill.

Tip: It's worth taking a detour to the Castelfeder hill with its castle ruins. Since it's quite steep up the mountain and on rough terrain, we recommend that you park your bike below and climb the mystical hill on foot.

Recommended bike types for this tour: Gravel bike, MTB or a well-geared trekking or touring bike with a tire width of at least 32 mm.
