Bicycle track Alta Pusteria – Sillian (Austria)

From San Candido the track leads to the national border with Austria. We cross Sillian and go to Lienz across Eastern Tirol. This is a family-friendly bike tour on even ground, which can be extended or shortened according to your wishes (the bike trail leads to Brunico and through the whole Val Pusteria until Bressanone). Almost in every locality, famous side valleys branch off – like the Val di Landro with its beautiful lake.

After Carbonin, we turn right into the forest path no. 3, where you will enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the Dolomites. The Monte Specie, which is reached after 200 additional metres of altitude, offers magnificent views. The return trip leads to Prato Piazza, from where a tarred road leads back to the valley (alternative: the shortcut no. 37). Some detours lead to the small locality Säge.
