Via Claudia Augusta

Following the Romans through Algund

The Via Claudia Augusta is more than just a bike path – it’s a true piece of history. The ancient Roman road once connected Donauwörth with Venice and today it also passes through the garden village of Algund near Merano. It was completed over 2000 years ago under Emperor Claudius, built over decades across the Alps all the way to the Adriatic Sea.

Bike tour with history

Today, the Via Claudia Augusta is considered one of Europe’s most beautiful long-distance cycling routes. The trail leads from the Reschen Pass through the Vinschgau, via Algund and Merano, into the Adige Valley and onwards to Bolzano and the Salurn Gorge. The landscape constantly changes: apple orchards, forests, vineyards, castles, and quaint villages accompany you along your ride.


Perfect stage stop: Algund

Whether as a break on the long tour or a day stage during an active holiday, Algund is ideally located for those who want to cycle part of the Via Claudia Augusta. Bike-friendly accommodations, direct access to the bike path, and stunning nature make Algund the perfect starting point for relaxed or sporty rides in either direction – towards Lake Reschen or on to Bolzano.

Experience the Bridgehead Museum

A special highlight is the former bridgehead of the Roman Adige Bridge in Algund. Today, a small museum tells the eventful history of the bridge – and a modern wooden bridge allows cyclists and pedestrians to cross the river safely.
