Author’s recommendation
Take your time to explore the historic centres of Auer/Ora and Neumarkt/Egna along the route – cozy cafés, quiet alleyways and traditional wine farms make for perfect rest stops. A short detour through Neumarkt’s elegant arcades is especially rewarding. If you ride in late autumn, you’ll enjoy crisp views and peaceful paths – ideal for a relaxed outing away from the crowds.

Start at the main square in Auer and take the Palainweg to the Adige bridge. After crossing the bridge, follow the main road for about 500 m in the direction of Tramin a.d.W., then at the end of Mitterberg turn right towards Klughammer or Lake Caldaro. After only 400 m, turn left onto a farm road and continue south towards Neumarkt, crossing a main road. At the second main road, follow it to the Neumarkt train station. At the roundabout in front of the station, take the second exit towards Kurtatsch a.d.W. From there, continue straight for 5 km to the Adige bridge near St. Florian, cross it, immediately turn right onto the Adige cycle path and continue to Salurn a.d.W. Cycle through Salurn a.d.W., turn left after the church and then head north again (towards Buchholz/Gfrill), but before the road starts climbing, continue straight to Laag. In Laag, join the Adige cycle path again and cycle back north, passing Neumarkt and returning to Auer.
