Day 2: Munich – Bad Tölz

You leave Munich along the river Isar and will find yourself in the midst of untouched nature landscapes and dense forests. You will cycle past abbeys, bavarian villages and across the Isar wetland you reach Bad Tölz, a picturesque old town.

Day 4: Hall in Tirol – Brixen

Once you arrive in Innsbruck, the main city of Tyrol, you can stroll through the historic old town, visit the famous Golden Roof, or take a trip to Bergisel with its ski jump or the Bergisel Museum, which commemorates the battles at Bergisel under the command of freedom fighter Andreas Hofer. The first challenging section of today‘s route from Innsbruck to the Brenner Pass, the border between Austria and Italy and also a watershed and cultural axis, is covered by train (due to the ever-increasing volume of traffic, cycling on the main road is not recommended). Only a few buildings remain as reminders of the former border. From the Brenner Pass, you cycle along the old railway line to the Fugger town of Sterzing and continue downhill to Brixen.

From Brixen a well-built cycling path leads you through the Val Pusteria, passing the Mühlbacher Klause, a former border post. Once it was an antique gate between the provinces Rätien and Norikum. Along the river Rienz you will arrive to Brunico. We suggest a visit of the Volkskundemuseum (South Tyrolean Folklore Museum) in Teodone or one of the two Messner Mountain Museums MMM in the castle of Brunico or on the Kronplatz mountain. From Brunico you cycle along the cycling path along the river Rienz to Villabassa or Dobbiaco, where you will spend the night.

Slightly steep the cycling path leads to the border of the two provinces Bolzano and Belluno. From now on you roll comfortably downhill direction south to the pearl of the Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo with its astonishing mountain scenery. Today is slightly downhill again, a large part still on the old railway trail – on your left the massif of Sorapis, on your right the massif Cinque Torri (five towers).
