108 cycling for pleasure to Val Passiria

Course: Naturno – Plaus – Tel – Merano – Riffiano – Torgglerhof – ritorno a Merano – return to Naturno by shuttle or train

From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione / Bahnhofstraße which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige / Etschdamm. We turn left onto the cycle path towards Merano. We pass through the villages Plaus and Rablà before we reach Tel. We cross the state road and take the new cycle path downhill to Lagundo. At the first hairpin bend, a viewpoint offers a stunning panoramic view of Merano and its surroundings. After a short break, we continue our ride towards the center of Merano (follow the signs). At the Sissi park, we take the cycle path into the Val Passiria and ride through Riffiano to Saltusio, where we can have a break at the Torgglerhof. Then, the cycle path brings us to San Martino and finally to San Leonardo in Passirio, where we can visit the museum of Andreas Hofer (Tyrolean freedom fighter). We follow the cycle path back to Merano where we take the train back to Naturno.
