A very nice bike path—or rather, a very nice bike path in the Pustertal Valley. You can go on entire bike tours of tens of kilometers without having to ride more than a few meters on a busy highway. 🚴🏿

September 5, 2023,4. Tour Welsberg-Taisten : Walde Alm ➡️ Pusterbike ➡️ Drauradweg ➡️ Tassenbachsee 🔙🚴🏼

Today we had to do a quick lap of asphalt.
This first began with a beautiful descent from the Walde Alm down to the Rienz river and thus onto the Pustertal cycle path (Pusterbike).
I then followed the Drau cycle path, which connected seamlessly at San Candido, to Tassenbachsee.
After a short break with the ducks, I circled around it …

Faster than the approaching rain due to high humidity, cool air and headwinds. 🥴 The Three Peaks were unfortunately hidden deep in the cotton wool of the clouds.

This sometimes led to grip problems and balancing acts that had to be performed carefully because there was a lot …

Quiet tour along the river. With a detour to Lake Braies. Very busy there. Bistro Emma is highly recommended. Prices are reasonable and everything looked fresh.
The cycle paths here are great. Super marked and far away from the country roads. Different from Germany. Probably the old country roads before the big ones were built through the mountains. Food as …
