You carry on past lake Dürrensee (on the left you can see the famous Drei Zinnen/Three Peaks); the cycle path ascends slightly before you get to the border – Gemärk/Cimabanche - of the region South Tyrol and the region of the Veneto. From here you cycle towards the south to Cortina d`Ampezzo.

Day 3: Cortina d’Ampezzo – Belluno

(approx. 75 km)

Today the path is going slightly downwards, for the most part on the old railway track; you will see the Sorapis on the left and located on the right the Cinque Torri (Five Towers). You continue on to the south through the Boite Valley towards Pieve/Calalzo di Cadore. From here the new cycling path takes you to Longarone.

The first kilometres you cycle easily before you descend to the Brenta Valley. Where the river Brenta joins the plains, lies the town of Bassano del Grappa.

There are many places of interest to visit in the town such as San Francesco, the „Museo Civico“ (museum) or the Piazza della Libertà.

Day 6: Bassano del Grappa – Treviso
