Highlights of the Brixen tour based in one hotel at a glance

• Bolzano: You cycle along an old railway line for about 45 kilometres from Brixen to Bolzano. The magnificent cycle path leads through the medieval town of Klausen. As the valley narrows, the vineyards get closer. Culture tip: Take a stroll in Bolzano. The Laubengasse, the Ötzimuseum and the Waltherplatz are definitely worth a visit.
