Individual arrival to the first hotel in Munich. (During the Oktoberfest season in Munich, the first night's accommodation is in Bad Tölz. A train ticket from Bad Tölz to Munich is included and will take you to the starting point in Munich during this period.)

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.

From Bad Tölz, continue along the Isar River to Lake Sylvenstein. Pass through the Karwendel Nature Park, cross the German-Austrian border and arrive at the Achensee holiday region and the mountain lake of the same name. If you wish, you can take a boat trip on Lake Achensee. Overnight stay in Jenbach/Schwaz, subject to availability.

From Jenbach or Schwaz, cycle along the well-developed cycle path along the River Inn to Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol. Stroll through the historic old town, visit the famous Golden Roof or take a trip to the 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 everincreasing volume of traffic, cycling on the main road is not recommended). Only a few buildings remain as reminders of the former border. From Brenner, you cycle along the old railway line to the Fugger town of Sterzing and on to Franzensfeste and Mühlbach.

From Rio di Pusteria 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. After having spent a lot of time on your bike until here, we offer you a free pit stop at our shop in Dobbiaco for a check-up on your bike.

From here you follow the cycling path on the old Dolomites railway trail passing lake Toblacher See and the War Cemetery reminding World War I. Shortly after, you will admire a unique view on the world famous Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks) before arriving to lake Dürrensee. 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). Through the Boite-Valley you cycle direction South to Pieve di Cadore.

From here you will cycle on the new cycling path to Longarone. This town was completely rebuilt in 1963 after a landslide at the former Vajont damm, above the village caused a huge flood. From Longarone you cycle on to Conegliano.

You leave the Alps behind and arrive to Treviso, city of waterways and fashion. On your way you can admire numerous villas from the Italian master-builder Palladio, who was able to complete here his magnificent buildings under the influence of the leading European sea power Venice. River Sile remains your faithful companion in the direction Adriatic Sea to Venice mainland/Mestre from where you can start your exploration of the „Serenissima“.

You start in Jenbach or Schwaz and cycle along the well-developed cycle path along the River Inn to Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol. Stroll through the historic old town, visit the famous Golden Roof or take a trip to the Bergisel with its ski jump or the Bergisel Museum, which commemorates the battles at Bergisel under the command of freedom fighter Andreas Hofer. The route is suitable for all levels of fitness.

Today's route begins with a train or bus ride to the Brenner Pass, the border between Austria and Italy and also a watershed and cultural axis. Only a few buildings remain as reminders of the former border. From Brenner, you cycle along the old railway line to the Fugger town of Sterzing and on to Franzensfeste. From here, the cycle path leads eastwards to Mühlbach at the entrance to the South Tyrolean Puster Valley./p>

Today, follow the cycle path along the Rienz river through the Mühlbach Gorge and continue through the lower Puster Valley to Bruneck. If you have time in the morning, we recommend visiting the Folklore Museum in Dietenheim, which documents rural life, culture and customs in South Tyrol. From Bruneck, cycle along the cycle path along the Rienz river to Dobbiaco, your destination for today.

Today, follow the cycle path along the former Dolomite railway through the Höhlensteintal valley, past Lake Dobbiaco and the war cemetery commemorating the First World War. Shortly afterwards, a unique panoramic view of the Three Peaks rock formation opens up before you reach Lake Dürrensee. The cycle path climbs slightly to the border between the provinces of Bolzano and Belluno. Now you roll comfortably downhill on the former railway line and reach the Dolomite town of Cortina d'Ampezzo with its fantastic mountain backdrop. The former mountain village is also known as the ‘Queen of the Dolomites’, as it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It is therefore not surprising that the small community developed into a fashionable holiday resort as early as the 19th century.

The old railway line has been converted into a cycle path. You can leisurely follow the route through the Boite Valley to Pieve di Cadore. In this historic town, you will come across the River Piave, which you will follow further south. Magnificent views accompany you to Longarone, the youngest town on your journey. Just 50 years ago, a rockslide into the reservoir caused a flood wave that destroyed the town. Reconstruction began in the late 1960s, and today only a museum commemorates the disaster.

Continue following the Piave River until just before Belluno (a trip to the ‘little Venice in the mountains’ is possible), where you leave your companion and cycle along Lake Santa Croce, the second largest lake in Veneto after Lake Garda and a popular destination for its turquoise blue water and sandy beach. But for you, the journey continues through historic Vittorio Veneto to medieval Conegliano. Magnificent villas and palazzi still characterise the town's appearance today.

Now you leave the Alps behind you for good and cycle through the fertile plains. Everything that tastes good is grown here, but special attention is paid to the well-known radicchio, the famous red salad from Treviso. The city is also known as the ‘città delle acque’ (city of water) because of its branched canals in the centre. Stroll along these waterways and discover many a secluded spot.

First, the beautifully landscaped cycle path runs along the River Sile. It is only 95 kilometres long, but famous because it is mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy. Now the destination of your journey is getting closer and closer. Quiet side roads lead you to your accommodation on the mainland outside Venice, with excellent bus connections to the lagoon city. Now it's time to toast your journey with a glass of wine — preferably right in St Mark's Square!
