Route and Directions:Start: The tour begins in Auer and follows the Adige Bike Path through Neumarkt and Salurn to Trento. Admire the view of Beseno Castle near Calliano and continue through Rovereto. After crossing the Adige dam bridge, the route ascends to Mori and passes through the picturesque landscapes of Loppio up to the San Giovanni Pass. The adventurous descent takes you to Nago and along the stunning Lake Garda road to Torbole. The final section of the bike path runs along the shore to Riva del Garda.
