Finally I finished my travelwriting on this summer's #MuenchenVenezia #biketour: https://www.organictraveller.de/ecotraveller-munich-venice-by-bike
It's based on my posts here, but more elaborate, with links and all: notes on the #bikeroute, the people we met, the accommodation, the food. Enjoy!

On a #longdistance #biketour like #MuenchenVenezia you want your #bike safely stored during the night. If you prefer some comfort, have a restricted budget and do not plan fixed, conservative legs, last minute booking for the night can be a challenge. Here are my experiences for #Munich - #Venice: https://www.organictraveller.de/ecotraveller-munich-venice-by-bike#muenchenvenezia_bikefriendly_accommodation
#Organic #lunch and provisions on the #MuenchenVenezia #bikeroute: My findings for the historical town of #Bruneck / #Brunico in the #PusterValley / #Suedtirol / #AltoAdige are covered here: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bruneck-brunico

#MuenchenVenezia : It's still not easy to find #organicfood on a #longdistance #biketour , not knowing where you will be at lunch and during the night. So here are my learnings
for #Sterzing / #Vipiteno: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-sterzing-vipiteno
Here's the first new #cityguide originating in my #MuenchenVenezia #bicycle tour, a small and utterly incomplete #traveller's guide to #organic #cafes and #restaurants in #Innsbruck / #Austria: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-innsbruck
Unfortunately the fun stops here. On the remaining #bikeroute to #prosecco land signs have been put up less frequently and only on short stretches active mobility is separated from passive. The landscape itself is interesting: the scarse flat shaped by the river #Piave, via industrial zones, along lakes. But don't be mistaken: it's hilly, with only short actually flat stretches. Day ended with good, partially #organic dinner in #Conegliano.
When we had to leave the former train trail through the #Cadore valley cyclists start sharing the downhill road to the bottom of the valley with cars, but no worries: The neverending stream of passive mobilists is using a new strada statale (of which we did not hear much noise), and the old #stradaStataleDiAlemagna 51, nicely paved, was here only for our downhill fun, occasionally shared by a local car and bikers uphill. The contrary wind helped to slow down for the u-turns.
The 4rd leg of the #MuenchenVenezia #bikeroute https://www.muenchen-venezia.info/ starts nicely downhill on a paved separated bikeroute out of #Cortina. At Località Socol the route u-turns to the left into the gravel nuisance of a hiking trail.
It becomes a bicycle route worth the name after you leave the municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo on the former train bed to St. Vito di Cadore, and further on along the #Cadore valley. Comfortable cycling with great views.
On the pass at the border between #SouthTyrol and #Belluno we decided to continue on the Strada Statale downhill as we wanted to reach Cortina before sunset: Apart from the constant danger of being steamrolled this road lives up to the standard other Italian long-distance #bicycle routes definitely have. Finally traffic congestion into Cortina and no way for cyclists.
