Via Clau­dia Augus­ta — From Augs­burg to Bol­za­no: classic

Out of the city and into natu­re! The cycle path leads from the local recrea­ti­on area of the Augs­burg Forest along the Lech river through the bota­ni­cal tre­asu­re tro­ve of the Lech­tal heaths and pas­ses the gent­le hills of the Pfaf­fen­win­kel natu­re regi­on near Schon­gau to the Forg­gen­see, Füs­sen’s bath­tub. After a brief inter­mez­zo with King Lud­wi­g’s visi­ons in his Neu­schwan­stein Cast­le, the cycle path fol­lows the Lech past the Füs­sen Lech Falls and on into the Tyro­lean Alps. From Reut­te, an orga­ni­zed trans­fer takes you to Fern­stein­see Cast­le and the cycle path takes you through the pic­tures­que Gur­gl­tal val­ley to the foun­tain town of Imst and on to Lan­deck. A trans­fer takes you up the ascent to Nau­ders on the Reschen Pass. From Lake Reschen in South Tyrol, the Adi­ge cycle path takes you along the playful river through the lush fruit-gro­wing land­scapes of the sun-dren­ched Vinsch­gau Val­ley and via the spa town of Mer­ano to the lively com­mer­cial city of Bolzano.
