Stone railway tunnel on the Alpe Adria Cycle Path

Highlight • Structure

Not every tunnel is a highlight, but the route is very nice for cycling.
This time we waited for a rain shower.

Alpe Adria Cycle Path with Mountain Views

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful route. Unfortunately, about 10km before Venzone the old cycle path is buried and you have to switch to the busy road.

Soooo beautiful, bike paths like in Holland, an old railway line, the Alps Adria Trail. And you can stop anywhere along this route, and of course in Tarvisio you can have the usual pizza and finish off with delicious ice cream

A beautiful way. Completely asphalt and yet in the middle of nature. Of course there is also a lot of traffic. Unfortunately we couldn't let it roll to the Adriatic 🇮🇹, but had to go back to the Alps 🇦🇹 to the car and hotel 😉
