Hobby cyclists might know the Via Claudia Augusta cycle path. It follows an antique Roman street for over 700 km from Augsburg - Germany, to Venice. It was constructed over 2000 years ago and was the only route of the Roman Empire to lead across the Alps. The most popular and most beautiful parts of this path are located from Reschen to Meran, where the countryside is particularly diverse. After winding around the Reschen See and the Haider See, the route meanders through meadows and forests to Burgeis, passing the monastery Marienberg and the castle Fürstenburg as well as a couple of tiny dreamy villages, including Glurns.  It leads cyclists straight through the tiny midieval village and follows the course of the Etsch river up to the lakes in the nature reserve delta of the Stilfsbach, through the sunny vineyards of Schluderns, the Vinschgau Valley orchards and sleepy hamlets.

Explore the Vinschgau Valley by railway and bike together: the local railway system of the Vinschgau Railway offers convenient bike rental points at the main stations. There you can buy a special ticket as well which includes bike rental and a ticket from Meran to Mals and return. in this way you can start combined railway and bicycle tours in both directions with the option to stop at any station anytime and to cover some distance by train.
