RUGGED MOUNTAINS, CRYSTAL-CLEAR LAKES, AND DOLCE VITA ON THE COAST.

The Alpe-Adria Bicycle Trail is one of the most beautiful and popular cycling routes not only in the Alps, but in all of Europe.
It connects Salzburg, located on the northern edge of the Alps, with Grado on the Italian Adriatic coast. We will cycle the southern half of this unique route on this fantastic tour.
We start in the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt, head to Italy on the very first day, and follow the Val Canale on one of the most beautiful sections of the cycle path. Of course, we leave it sometimes and make side trips, after all, there is so much to see and experience in Friuli, the most northeastern province of Italy. We feast on the famous ham of San Daniele and then coast leisurely and comfortably down to the sea. In Grado the Alpe-Adria cycle path ends, while we set off north again. But not without dangling our feet in the water and enjoying the Italian flair!
The way back takes us via Goricia to Postojna, where we admire the world-famous caves, and on to the capital Ljubljana, which delights us with its picture-perfect old town. One more night at the enchanting lake of Bled, then we cross the Karavanke mountains and are back in Austria. At the end of this trip you will understand why the Alpe Adria Cycle Route is so highly rated.
