Pustertal Valley Cycle Route: Leg Innichen/San Candido – Toblach/Dobbiaco – Bruneck/Brunico

Pustertal Valley Cycle Route: Leg Innichen/San Candido – Toblach/Dobbiaco – Bruneck/Brunico

Dobbiaco, Puster Valley

Difficulty:

Description

The cycle path from Toblach/Dobbiaco to Bruneck/Brunico is particularly suitable for beginners and families with children. With hardly any inclines, rest areas and playgrounds along the way, this day trip is particularly popular with little cyclists.
You can go home comfortably on the new trains, which can also take back your bicycles. Alternatively, the bikes can be borrowed in Toblach and returned in Bruneck.

Details

The cycle route starts in Toblach/Dobbiaco (can also be started in Innichen/San Candido) and leads along the Rienz river through forests to Niederdorf/Villabassa, through the village and on towards the Prags/Braies valley. At the entrance to the valley, the cycle path crosses the road over a bridge and continues in a westerly direction to Welsberg/Monguelfo. There is a shady park with a playground.

The tour then passes the Olang/Valdaora reservoir and Percha/Perca, where it is a sports field and playground. Shortly before the end of the cycle path is reached, it leads into the Rienz Gorge and through a dimly lit tunnel. Then the basin opens again and the city of Bruneck/Brunico is at your feet.

The bike tour can be interrupted in any village in the Pustertal/Val Pusteria valley and the return journey can be started by train.

The Brunico|Bruneck to Fortezza|Franzensfeste leg is rich in cultural and historical treasures that make the route unique. The settlements, fortresses, and historical monuments from Roman times through the Middle Ages line the bike path along the Rienza|Rienz, offering interesting insights into the history of the valley.

This leg of the Pustertal|Val Pusteria bike route is also hilly, as it forms the connecting point between the Central Val Pusteria and the Isarco|Eisack Valley. From Brunico, it continues in the direction of S. Lorenzo|St. Lorenzen to the former Roman road station, Mansio Sebatum. Excavations and a museum offer the opportunity to learn more about the Romans in the Pustertal. The petting zoo at Wildberg Manor is a pleasant change of pace for both young and old and not to forget the Castel Sonnenburg. Things continue on quietly through landscapes of forests and meadows toward Casteldarne|Ehrenburg (Castel Ehrenburg) and Chienes|Kiens. Those who enjoy cheese will be in for a treat at the Gatscher farmhouse cheese dairy. The trip then proceeds to S. Sigismondo|St. Sigmund and Vandoies|Vintl. At Lodenwelt, which is located there, the adventure museum devoted to the subject of loden felt can be visited, as can an animal reserve and the fine Capriz cheese dairy. Those who enjoy the finer things in life certainly won’t come up short along this route! After passing Vandoies, the bicycle trail passes by the Rio Molino|Mühlbach Gap, a former valley and road block from the twelfth century, continuing on to Rio Molino. At this point, it is possible to return by train. But for all those who have some energy and motivation left, continuing on to visit the fortress in Fortezza is certainly worthwhile.

Possible variations along the route:

Val Badia Bike Route from Brunico to San Vigilio or to San Martin – 23 or 24 km (14.5 or 15 miles)
Getting to know the Ladin culture and language.
Valli di Tures and Aurina|Tauferer Ahrntal Bike Route from Brunico via Campo Tures|Sand in Taufers to S. Giacomo|St. Jakob – 36 km (22 miles)
On two wheels through the realm of more than seventy three thousand meter (ten thousand foot) peaks.
Bike Route Brennero-Bolzano from Fortezza|Franzensfeste toward Brennero|Brenner (45 km/28 miles) or in the direction of Bolzano|Bozen (43 km/27 miles).

Details

From downtown Brunico (elevation 835 m/2,740 ft.), the bicycle route follows the Rienza River through the city in the direction of S. Lorenzo|St. Lorenzen. This section runs for the most part over a gravel path, and only shortly before S. Lorenzo does it turn back into a paved road, which takes us directly into the village center of S. Lorenzo (elevation 810 m/2,657 ft.). After S. Lorenzo, the bike path briefly leaves the course of the river and leads past the district of S. Martino|St. Martin in the direction of the Val Badia|Gadertal. Running along the edge of the Pflaurenzer Köpfl hill in Floronzo, it then returns in the direction of the river and the road paralleling the railroad tracks. The section past Casteldarne|Ehrenburg (elevation 805 m/2,641 ft.) and Chienes|Kiens (elevation 784m/7,572 ft.) toward the west is characterized by alternating uphill and downhill sections. Meadows, fields, and forests are typical for the landscape views along the bike route from S. Sigismondo|St. Sigmund toward Vandoies di Sopra|Obervintl and Vandoies di Sotto|Niedervintl. From Vandoies di Sotto, the bicycle path then descends slightly past the Rio Molino|Mühlbach Gap to then steadily rise again as far as Rio Molino (elevation 777 m/2,549 ft.) Those who would like can board the train here for the return trip. As an alternative, there is also the possibility to ride over a small hill to the edge of the village of Sciaves|Schabs. After the underpass beneath the highway, the bicycle route follows a little-traveled side street past Aicha (elevation 730 m/2,395 m) to the fortress at Fortezza. Here, the Pustertal Bike Route leads to the Brennero Bicycle Route between Brennero and Bolzano.

Pustertal Valley Bike Route

Chienes, Puster Valley

Difficulty:

Description

The Pustertal Valley Bike Route is particularly suitable for bicycle tours and family cycling tours, for beginners but also for experts. The paved bike path starts in Rio Pusteria-Mühlbach and leads via the villages of Vandoies di Sotto-Niedervintl, Vandoies di Sopra-Obervintl, Chienes-Kiens, Casteldarne-Ehrenburg and S. Lorenzo-St. Lorenzen to Brunico-Bruneck. This first section is very flat and 25.5 km long.

From Brunico takes about Perca-Percha, Valdaora di Sotto-Niederolang, Valdaora di Mezzo-Mitterolang, Valdaora di Sopra-Oberolang, Ried, Villabassa-Niederdorf and Dobbiaco-Toblach to San Candido-Innichen. This second section is again very flat, 33.5 km long and suitable for everyone.

The third section takes us from San Candido on Versciaco-Vierschach to Prato Drava-Winnebach where you cross the Austro-Italian border. Now follow along the Drava River to Lienz. This last subsection is 44 km long and very easy and ideal for families. For the return we can use the train to come back to the starting point. If the total distance is too long, you can also take only a small part of the track, and the other you can travel by train.

This leg San Candido|Innichen – Lienz is simultaneously the third leg of the Pustertal|Val Pusteria Bike Route and the first leg of the Drava-Drau Bicycle Route which leads from Dobbiaco|Toblach (the source of the Drava) to Maribor in Slovenia. As the name suggests, the wide, secured bike path runs along the Drava River and is paved with a slight descent for nearly the entire route. For this reason, this leg is especially popular with families with children and bicyclists who may not be in peak condition. The railway route which runs parallel to the bike route makes it possible to plan a trip very individually. And because the bike path receives sufficient use, the infrastructure of services and care is well developed along the route, leaving no wish unfulfilled for bicyclists.

The bike path passes many small villages in East Tyrol, the largest of which is Sillian. That is the location of the beloved Wichtelpark. Lienz, the City of the Dolomites, as it calls itself, has a great deal to offer and can look back on a long history. The settlement, which had been founded back by the Illyrians, was continued by the Romans and developed into the Roman city of Aguntum.

Details

The bicycle leg from San Candido|Innichen to Lienz begins in San Candido and leads through the village center toward the east to Versciaco|Vierschach (elevation 1,188 m/3,900 ft.) After a brief ascent, it then continues along the Drava to Prato alla Drava|Winnebach (elevation also 1,188 m/3,900 ft.) and on to the border crossing. After passing the Austrian border, the bike path then runs for a stretch along the levee. After following quiet side streets, you will then reach Ahrnbach and Sillian. Starting from the Kegelstube inn in Sillian, the green bicycle route signs with the inscription R1 will accompany you to Lienz. You can enjoy the trip all the way to Lienz (elevation 673 m/2,208 ft.) without any automobile traffic. This is followed by the villages of Tassenbach (elevation 1,099 m/3,606 ft.), Strassen (also 1,099 m/3,606 ft.), and Abfaltersbach (983 m/3,225 ft.). From the bridge over the Drau located there, there is a short (700 m/half mile) alternate route to an idyllic rest area with a fire pit for all those who would like to pass a little time out of the saddle. For everyone else, the bike path continues along the left bank of the river. After a few kilometers, bicyclists will pass the village of Mittewald (elevation 1,261 m/4,137 ft.) and then reach Assling (elevation 1,128 m/3,701 ft.), where the sports and recreation center offers, among other things, the opportunity for a refreshing swim. The bike path then continues along the southern bank of the river into an increasingly narrower valley. This is where the Galitzenbach stream flows into the Drau River, and over the course of millennia, the work of the water has cut and shaped a remarkable gorge into the rock. The Galitzenklamm, as the gorge is known, can be visited during the summer months. Having left behind the narrow part of the valley, after a few more kilometers of pedaling the Lienz Basin opens up – surrounded by the Dolomites and the foothills of the Schober chain. The destination of this leg, Lienz (elevation 673 m/2,208 ft.), is no longer far away, and the well-marked bike path leads past various sports facilities directly to the railway station or into the city center.
