From Munich to Venice via the Alps
The opening of the “Munich-Venezia cycle route” took place in 2015; since then there is now, alongside the Via Claudia Augusta and the Alpe-Adria trail, another way to cross the Alps on a cycle path.
The new cycle route not only connects the two world-famous cities of Munich and Venice, but also impressive natural spaces and landscapes, such as the Dolomites, which are part of the world natural heritage.
In addition to the sporting challenge, the emphasis is placed on pleasure and the variations on the course are numerous. The route is very varied in terms of landscapes: gentle hills of the Alpine foothills, the main ridge of the Alps, impressive Dolomites and the Venetian plain.
Culturally, you will learn a lot about the particularities of each region, from Bavarian traditions and Alpine specialties to Mediterranean culture south of the Alps. In addition, you can also stock up on culinary delights - from Bavarian sausages to Tyrolean delicacies to seafood in Italy.
Cycle route from Germany to Italy
The Munich-Venice cycle route connects two world-famous cities with charming and varied cycle routes through the Alps.
Starting from Munich, you follow the Isar or the Tegernsee to the German-Austrian border near the Achenpass. After passing along the fjord-like Lake Achensee, you will reach the Tyrolean Inn Valley before crossing Innsbruck's main Alpine ridge via the Brenner Pass.
From there you take the old railway line through Eisacktal and then branch off at Franzensfeste into the picturesque Puster valley. In Dobbiaco the unique Dolomites cycle route begins, which takes you through the White Mountains.
Through the peaceful Piavetal valley, with magnificent views of the wild river, continue south, then cross the Fadalto saddle to reach the Venetian plain.
Through meadows and fields and ancient towns such as Vittorio Veneto, Conegliano and Treviso, you will finally arrive at the lagoon city of Venice.
