St. Lorenzen

Highlight • Settlement

Nice little town on the Rienz, west of Bruneck. With a small, cute marketplace that is regularly used as such.

Bruneck Cycle Tunnel

Highlight • Cycleway

From Bruneck city center on Graben, we head east along the southern embankment of the Rienz. The route soon leads past the sports facilities through the forest, after a tunnel we reach the Roman road, which takes us to the shady Unterwielenbach. This side road with little traffic takes us further to Olang, which consists of the three towns of Niederolang, Mitterolang and Oberolang that we drive through.
There is a short, steep descent past the cemetery, then the cycle path branches off to the right. The unpaved but good gravel road runs along the south bank of Lake Olanger through the forest to Welsberg. After bypassing the town, the path leads to the entrance to the Braies Valley, known for Lake Braies and the Dolomites of Braies, and on to Niederdorf.
Following the Frau-Emma-Straße in Niederdorf, which leads through the town center, you soon continue through green meadows on a dirt path to Dobbiaco. Past the train station, which is outside the village center, the cycle route continues along field paths to Innichen.

Lake Valdaora

Highlight • Lake

The Olang Reservoir (also Welsberger Reservoir, Welsberger Lake or Olanger Lake, Italian Lago di Valdaora) is located in the upper Puster Valley in South Tyrol. It dams the Rienz River at a height of up to 1055 m and covers an area of up to 44 hectares. The reservoir is used to generate energy. In addition to the water from the reservoir, the associated Bruneck-Olang hydroelectric power station also uses catchments on the Rienz tributaries Antholzer Bach, Brunstbach, Furkelbach and Wielenbach.

The Pustertal .... what more could words need ... WONDERFUL 🤩🤩🤩. The cycle path is well frequented and steadily climbs slightly. Very nice paths👍The ascent to Lake Braies hadn't bothered me beforehand, it was well signposted and easy to manage. Only the last 2 kilometers are a bit crisp, but with the goal also feasible in front of my eyes😉 …

Today's itinerary included Lake Braies. On the way there we cycled gently uphill along the river, but the last 5 km were tough. Once we reached the top, the lake lay at our feet. Then we walked around the lake (about 3 km), had a cappuccino in the café, and then it was almost all downhill to Bruneck. There it …

A wonderful tour, only the lake itself disappointed us. A terrible hustle and bustle, completely overcrowded. Finally, the obligatory ice cream in Bruneck 🍦
