038 Merano Bike Highline Marathon

Course: Naturno - Castelbello – Uphill "Marzoner Alm" – Bike Highline Meran – Monte San Vigilio – restaurant "Seespitz" - "Stoanbruch" Trail - Tel – Naturno

From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige. We turn right and take the cycle path towards Stava, Ciardes and finally Castelbello, `where` we turn left and follow the signs "Uphill Marzoneralm". The "Malga di Marzon" hut (1600m) is our first stage of the tour, which we reach after passing some steep uphill sections and the mountain village "Montefranco" (1200m). From the "Malga di Marzon" we take the Bike Highline Merano which connects the huts at Monte Tramontana via Castelbello with Tel. We follow the Bike- Highline mostly on forest roads in a constant up and down, to reach San Vigilio, `where` we ride past the church of San Vigilio to get to the restaurant "Seespitz". Just behind the restaurant, we access the "Stoanbruchtrail" (signposted) that brings us back to the bottom of the valley. Once we have reached the village Tel, we cross the bridge, turn left onto the cycle path and ride back to Naturno.
