Cycling between Triesting and Piesting

Date:
06.07.2006
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
47.1km

We started this bike trip near Medauhof, between Ödlitz and Berndorf. From there, we first descended towards Pottenstein an der Triesting, where we changed over to the other side of the valley. From there, we entered the long and nice Grabenweg-valley, which leads up to the saddle Am Hals at its very end. Mostly, this road is leading gently upwards, but at its very end, it becomes a little steeper and a nice challenge for cyclists, not talking here about challenges, which aggressive drivers occasionally impose on those on two wheels! On the other side of the saddle, we clearly enjoyed a longer and faster descent into the valley, which brings on out to Perniz. There, we basically turned left (into eastern direction) and followed the Piesting for quite a while on its way out of the mountains. >>>

Hvar cycling, day 2

Date:
15.07.2005
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
28.4km

After one (very nice!) day of in and around Sveta Nedjelja, including a visit to the impressive caves, high about the village, we got back onto our bikes. The plan had been made already in Split, when we informed ourselves about cycling on Hvar, and received a map, which very clearly described a round, continuing from Sveta Nedjelja along the southern shore of island Hvar further towards the west, all the way to the settlement of Hvar. After some short investigation, also asking some locals, it quickly became clear that there was absolutely no way to continue cycling into the given direction (there simply was no road at all, not even a gravel road). Thus, we had no other choice than to go back the way which he had taken to Sveta Nedjelja two days ago, including the tunnel! We quickly got >>>

Hvar cycling, day 1

Date:
13.07.2005
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
28.9km

We had taken the ferry from Split to Starigrad on Hvar (just taking our bikes with us) and the first thing we did on Hvar was to actually visit Starigrad, not far from where the ferry stops. Starigrad has a nice harbor and and old town which is clearly worth a visit! In Split, we had informed ourselves about biking opportunities on Hvar and we were motivated by a map that outlined a nice biking path around the island. Accordingly, it was our plan to follow this route and thus we started from Starigrad, heading eastwards. The map told that there should be a nice connection to the east a bit north of the main road. Finding this connection, we had to understand that it was not, as assumed, a paved road, but a "gravel" road with all-too-large rocks all over the path, making it almost >>>

Biking through the Alps 6: Pens-Innsbruck

Date:
30.08.1998
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
7:30h
Distance:
81.7km

The last, sixth day of this one-week bike-trip through the Alps in Südtirol should bring us over the impressive Penserjoch (at 2200mosl) and then, via Sterzing and the Brenner, to Innsbruck, where we had planned to conclude our trip. We first cycled the roughly 800 height-meters up to Penserjoch in a little less than two hours, enjoying our last pass over 2000mosl, before continuing further northwards. What followed, was a long and fast descent down to Sterzing (at about 930mosl), from where we headed further towards the Brenner (minor pass at about 1365mosl). This brought us also back to Austria. From there, we basically "just" did a long descent towards Innsbruck (about 40km), where we arrived at about 4pm in the afternoon. All in all, this six days long bike trip through >>>
