Via Clau­dia Augus­ta from Füs­sen to Venice

In the foot­s­teps of the Romans! Your cycle tour across the Alps beg­ins along the anci­ent rou­te of the Via Clau­dia Augus­ta across the Forg­gen Reser­voir. 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 Tyro­lean Ober­land. 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 lush orchards and cul­ti­va­ted land­scapes until the Vinsch­gau Val­ley mer­ges into the Burg­gra­fen­amt Meran near Töll, at the for­mer Roman cus­toms sta­ti­on of the Via Clau­dia Augus­ta. Sou­thern flair is exu­ded by the viney­ards that nest­le in swee­ping lines around Lake Kal­tern and seam­less­ly tran­si­ti­on from the South Tyro­lean low­lands to Tren­ti­no. You lea­ve the city of Tren­to by trans­fer and cycle in the famous Valsug­a­na ther­mal regi­on along the Bren­ta River, which accom­pa­nies you almost as far as Felt­re. With the graceful hills of the world-famous Pro­sec­co-gro­wing regi­on of Val­d­ob­bia­de­ne behind you, your rou­te takes you through tran­quil vil­la­ges and his­to­ri­cal­ly signi­fi­cant towns such as Tre­vi­so, befo­re Quar­to dAl­ti­no announ­ces the desti­na­ti­on of your jour­ney. The train takes you direct­ly to the cen­ter of Venice and not­hing stands in the way of an exten­si­ve stroll through the Sere­nis­si­ma with its palaz­zi and art treasures.
