A unique and spectacular route that runs from the Bavarian Alps along the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Venice and its lagoon.
It is feasible in both directions, but in either case you will live an unforgettable experience in three states with three different climate bands, divided into five chapters.
The water element will accompany you to Munich, in the "Tyrolean sea" until the Karwendel region with its 350 springs.
You will then move from the jewels of Tyrol with the Swarovski crystal worlds and the Zillertal railway to an atmosphere in which the alpine landscape and the Mediterranean light create a perfect, pleasant and fascinating combination. On this route you can visit the towns of Vipiteno, Bressanone and Chiusa.
Then let yourself be abandoned by the beauty of the Bavarian Pre-Alps and the majesty of the UNESCO Dolomites, from the Three Peaks of Lavaredo to the Dolomites of Belluno.
Finally, the route will take you along the hilly landscape of Veneto to Jesolo and Mestre to conclude with the city of art on the lagoon, Venice.
