    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.

    Safety information

    Pay attention to traffic safety, especially when crossing and riding on traffic roads. Always wear a helmet and appropriate protective clothing. Check your bike for functionality before the tour.

    Roadbook

    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 meters towards Tramin/Termeno, then turn right at the end of Mitterberg towards Klughammer or Lake Caldaro. After just 400 meters, turn left onto a farm road heading south towards Neumarkt, crossing one traffic road (be cautious!). Once at the second traffic road, follow it to the Neumarkt/Egan train station. At the roundabout before the station, take the second exit towards Kurtatsch. Continue straight for 5 km to the Adige Bridge at St. Florian/o, cross it, turn immediately right onto the Adige Cycle Path and continue to Salurn. Traverse Salurn, turn left after the church and head north (towards Buchholz/Gfrill), but before the road ascends, continue straight to Laag/Laghetti. Rejoin the Adige Cycle Path in Laag and head back north, passing Neumarkt and returning to Auer.
