Starting at the Marling/Marlengo church square follow the main road to Lana/Lana. At the first traffic light, turn into Kellereistr./Via Cantina street and then into Lebenbergstr./Via Monte Leone street, just opposite the new winery Meran/Merano. After a few hundred meters, make a left turn on to a dirt road on the Gampenstr./Via Palade street towards Tscherms/Cermes. Just before the village church, turn left onto the cycle track through the fruit orchards. The track is mostly on dust roads leading through spectacular terrain, as far as the Sigmundskron/Firmiano intersection just before Bolzano/Bozen. Then take the road to Bolzano/Bozen (2 km away), or head towards Eppan/Appiano and Kaltern/Caldaro.

At about 25 km, this cycling route can be completed in about 2 hours without any significant variance in altitude.

The starting point is at the bridge in Töll. Follow the road to Aschbach, past the Unterobereben inn to the mountain station of the Aschbach cable car. At the info point of the Aschbach cable car, turn left onto forest path no. 27A to the intersection with the Stuanbruch trail, continue to “Mahlbach”, Mohlboch trail, follow the road to the left in the direction of Quadrat, past the Gasthaus Brünnl, Gasthaus Niederhof and arrive at the starting point in Töll.

Variant: Stuanbruch Trail (S3) on the descent

The bike path starts right in St. Leonhard before the underpass of the ring road. After about 1 km, the path passes the MuseumPasseier – Andreas Hofer, which offers an outdoor museum area and a course called Heroes & Hofer on the ground floor. The ethnographic area is in the first floor and the outdoors is a typical local farm. The trail takes you past St. Martin, Quellenhof, Saltaus, and Riffian, ending in the old town of Meran.

From the Marling/Marlengo church square (altitude 363 m) follow the Nörderstr./Via Tramontana street towards Algund/Lagundo as far as the Forst Brewery.

Cross the main road and turn left onto the Forststr./Via Birreria street before taking a right turn onto the wooden bridge crossing the Etsch/Adige river. Turn left and follow the road up towards the valley Vinschgau/Val Venosta.

The approximately 60 km tarred road follows the Etsch/Adige, past fruit orchards against a picturesque setting of snow-capped peaks, fields and forests, villages and vineyards. The route ascends to Mals/Malles (at 1,099 m altitude) in the upper Vinschgautal/Venosta Valley.

The entire route, which can also be followed on the way down, has an altitude variance of about 700 m.

Starting point of this tour is the Marling Tourist Office. We ride on the irrigation channel and path no.33 towards Gasthof Tschigg. Then, we follow the forest path no. 31 to the Almboden junction and from here we cycle on path no. 9 to the Seespitz inn. 

Thereafter, the uphill is barely noticeable and about 1.3 km later we reach the little church of St. Vigilius , the highest point of our tour. The small church is located at 1793 m, making it one of the highest mountain sanctuaries in South Tyrol. Inside there are frescoes from the 14th century.

After a short break, the downhill is waiting for us. We bike on trails no. 9 and 29 to Mahlbach and on to Gasthof Bründl, where we either come back to Marling via Senn am Berg or via Gasthof Grammegg.
