Lienz Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The start in San Candido is 500 meters higher than the finish in Lienz. The 44 km route is therefore easy to manage, even for families.

After seven strenuous hiking days, a relaxed bike tour today. You don't need an e-bike for this tour, because it's almost all the time downhill or flat. The well-developed Drava cycle path always leads along the river. From Lienz we went back to San Candido by train.

The only downside is that the bikes are all crammed together. 🫣

Together with @Paolo Cecc, we made three stages to Villach (Austria)

We arrived by car at the Dobbiaco station (free parking right in front of the station) and rented two e-bikes equipped with bags on the racks.

August 4, 2022,San Candido-Lienz e ritorno fino a Versiaco

Classic to do when you are in Val Pusteria. Loaded the bikes on the train in Brunico we got off in San Candido and from there we took the well-marked cycle path to Lienz. During the very beautiful route but often under the sun, you have to pay attention to groups of families who wander without respecting the direction of …
