Trentino – Veneto From BOLZANO to Venice
 A short distance through South Tyrol’s vineyards and along the Àdige
to Trentino. Lago di Garda will be included, at the southern end of which
the tour leads to Veneto and then in the Po Valley. Famous cities such
as Verona, Vicenza and Venice are either stage destinations or located
on the way. They promise an extremely interesting bike tour. A boat journey
on Lago di Garda and possibilities to visit the thermal springs of “Abano
Terme” take care of rest and more variety.
The route is flat or slightly as far as easily
hilly the only strenuous part is the Monti
Berici. The first two stages are predominantly
on bicycle paths, southern and eastern from
Gardasee you cycle mostly on paths
and side roads. As a result of missing bicycle
paths there are a few, short sections on streets with heavy
traffic. Almost continuous asphaltic ways.
