Adige Valley Cycle Path (Etschtal Cycle Path)

Highlight • Cycleway

Those who like monotony are in good hands on this cycle path. On one side the river, on the other a railway line. Here it is more advisable to drive along the wine route. Right through apple orchards and small streets.

View of the Dolomites

Highlight • Viewpoint

An ideal spot to take photos and take in the special impressions in peace. The view is magnificent – the evening sun bathes the peaks in a warm light. The little dawdling during the tour was more than worth it in the end. 😉

Adige Cycle Path near Bolzano

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is very beautiful and it is very idyllic to cycle past the many apple trees between the mountains. It's great to get to Meran. Great that there is this bike path.
In the dark, however, it is unfortunately not illuminated, which is not a problem if you have good light yourself. However, I would not recommend driving here without light or with only sparse light, as it goes downhill right next to the cycle path, which means that there is a risk of accidents in poor visibility.

So be sure to think of lights if it is possible to be on the road longer and only drive back when it is dark!

View of Castel Firmiano (Sigmundskron Castle)

Highlight • Castle

Visible from afar, Sigmundskron Castle sits enthroned on the rock. Today, the historic walls house Reinhold Messner's MMM Firmian, the headquarters of a fascinating museum project. It's well worth a visit!

June 3, 2025,The Alps again - Tag 6: ausradeln nach Bozen

To conclude our tour today, we only planned to wind down: following the Adige Cycle Path from Merano to Bolzano.
So we cycled the 33 km comfortably, without any major challenges or major events. We ended our trip with the expected castles and mountains along the way.
After our arrival and a hearty lunch, Bolzano surprised us with sunshine until …

It is an easy bike tour only on asphalt. Navigation in both Meran and Bolzano is excellent. The old town of Bolzano is worth seeing.

August 9, 2024,Von Meran nach Bozen

I have to specifically praise the region's network of cycle paths. Even in Bolzano, at least where there is space, you can cycle wonderfully through the city. There are special bridges and underpasses exclusively for cyclists, separated from pedestrians.

July 7, 2022,Südtirol 🇮🇹: Im Etschtal von Bozen nach Meran

Today only a short bike ride along the Adige to the spa town of Meran. Countless apple orchards line the way. You also have to like the monoculture. In the spring you should avoid the vicinity of the plantations because of the spraying of the apples.
