From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione/Bahnhofstraße which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige/Etschdamm. We turn left onto the cycle path towards Merano. We pass through the villages Plaus and Rablà until we reach Tel. We cross the state road and take the new cycle path to Lagundo which takes us downhill to the town's open air swimming pool. We cross the wooden bridge and continue to the next intersection, `where` we turn left to get to the Forst brewery. Near the brewery we cross the state road again and take the climb that leads to Marlengo. Via a hilly section, we finally arrive in Marlengo. We pass through the town and descend to Cermes and then Lana (signposted). Passing through the town we get by two roundabouts. At the second one, we turn right towards Passo Palade. We ride uphill and get to the crossroad for Tisens, `where` we turn left. Descending we arrive at Tesimo and Prissiano. From Prissiano we ride very steeply downhill towards Nalles. We pass through Nalles and continue towards Merano. Arrived at the roundabout near the gas station, we turn left into a side road that passes through the apple orchards. We pass by the refreshment points "Pircher and Kati" and finally reach Lana. There, we stay on the road towards Cermes until we reach Marlengo. We pass through Marlengo and return on the hilly road to Lagundo (Forst brewery). There we cross the state road and ride behind the Forst brewery to the next intersection. We turn right and arrive at a wooden bridge, which we cross to get to the open air swimming pool of Lagundo. From there we return on the cycle path to Tel, the same way we had come `from`, back to Naturno.
