This cycle tour starts in Villach, where the rivers Drava and Gail join, and leads through the diverse region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. This area offers not only a varied landscape, but also a rich cultural diversity. The cuisine reflects this cultural mix, with influences from the Alps, Austria, Slovenia and Venice. Leaving the Carnic Alps in the background, you cycle along the south side of the Alps towards the sea and enjoy the vast Adriatic coast with its endless sandy beaches. The journey finally ends in Grado, a picturesque coastal town perfect for relaxation and recreation.
Individuall arrival in Villach.
Following the river Gail you leave Villach behind and welcome Italy. In the three-nation triangle of Italy-Austria-Slovenia the valley "Kanaltal" is extending whose centre constitutes the Italian border town of Tarvis. Here Austrians, Slovenes, Friulians and Italians have been living together since hundred of years caused by the three big European language families – Teutons, Romans and Slavs – join in that region.
Tarvis, a small city – surrounded by wide valleys and woods – with its modern look and ancient soul, full of traditions, is your starting point of today’s cycle tour. It is not only one of the most important mountain resorts of Friuli Venezia Giulia, but it is also a winter area of this region. Continuing through the valley of "Kanaltal" you can admire the beauty of the Friuli-Alps-Region with an intact, unspoilt nature and vast, intact forests.
The little city of Gemona which is located on the southern exit of the valley "Kanaltal" and on the foothills of the Julian Alps is one of the most beautiful historic towns of Friuli- Venezia-Gilulia. The view of the place is characterized by the majestic dome "Santa Maria Assunta" which is surely worth seeing. The wine defines today’s stage. Hills filled with grape-vines line will be along your way and invite you to taste some drops. Udine - the city affected by Venetian ascendancies – eradiates silence and thoughtfulness; over a cup of coffee on the "Piazza" or during a stroll in the inner city you can admire the great buildings of the late-gothic and Renaissance.
Accompanied by a breeze of the Scirocco you pass reed-landscape and water channels and arrive at Grado, a historic city of fishers and one of the most popular bathing resorts at the Adriatic Sea.
