Via Clau­dia Augus­ta — From Füs­sen to Lake Gar­da: sporty

Your tran­sal­pi­ne cycle tour beg­ins in Füs­sen, at the foot of the Ammer­ge­bir­ge moun­ta­ins and idyl­li­cal­ly situa­ted by the Forg­gen­stau­see reser­voir. Past the Füs­sen Lech Falls, the cycle rou­te fol­lows the natu­ral Lech river into the Tyro­lean Alps. The rug­ged ele­gan­ce of the Lech­tal Alps and the Zug­spit­ze mas­sif flank the cycle path as far as the Erwal­der Becken, a pro­tec­ted moor­land area whe­re parts of a Roman bea­ting road of the Via Clau­dia Augus­ta have been pre­ser­ved. From Biber­wier, an orga­ni­zed trans­fer takes you to Fern­stein­see Cast­le and the cycle path takes you through the pic­tures­que Gur­gl­tal val­ley into the Upper Inn­tal val­ley to Lan­deck. A spor­ty, ser­pen­ti­ne ascent of approx. 700 meters in alti­tu­de awaits you bet­ween Pfunds and Nau­ders on the Reschen Pass. From Lake Reschen in South Tyrol, the Adi­ge cycle path leads along the playful river through the lush Vinsch­gau fruit-gro­wing land­scapes to the spa town of Mer­ano. The viney­ards alre­a­dy exu­de a sou­thern flair, fol­lo­wing the swee­ping lines of the land­scape and seam­less­ly con­nec­ting the South Tyro­lean low­lands with Tren­ti­no. Ano­ther stone’s throw through the fer­ti­le Val­lag­a­ri­na and with a bril­li­ant pan­ora­ma of the deep blue Lake Gar­da, you cycle towards your stage desti­na­ti­on of Riva del Garda.
