Milena Velba Follando En La Ducha

bike & hike 'Io - TransAlp





of o6.o8.Io I3.o8.Io went back to the mountain biking vacation on the stage.
the main protagonists were j motivated biker without the section, striking this group, the composition of the grup : although mountain biking eigenltich sport is a strongly male-dominated, we had a women's quota of 50% (and it's had in the 50%:)!)

planned and geguided was revived by rene with GPS, the proposed time route the 'Dolomiti Superbike', s in the book TransAlp selected by Ulrich Stanciu, .

a GPS I can only recommend every Transalpes -
we were on trails and because of the way, you find on any map and its running you would not even guess - schleichwegerl insider so to speak. Card reading Alps crosser had also roll on the asphalt streets of the valleys and were probably not half as much of the area with beautiful while we gleefully through farm and forest lands, and biked through fields and meadows. beginning to

the proud hard facts like:

the route led
kufstein of where our cars let stand (original Bavarian cell) past kitzbühel to the roots and in the high tauern , from there via the Krimml Tauern pass to South Tyrol on into a hrntal and bruneck into pustertal. pustertal from the south continue to pass through the Dolomites and Cortina to the cinque torri to Alleghe. finally west to the Adige valley where the accurate goal-marked route. We rode still on the opposite side of the valley to Tramin and enjoyed a leisurely a bend in the lovely place before accurate by train from back again drove to Kufstein.

tag o:
da man n the bike anyway all his life FÜ r a week in a transport 30l backpack must, at least you travel with little luggage. we stowed 6 personal luggage, including bikes and cars in only 2 and drove to Kufstein, where we could stay with Heidi and were allowed to park their cars for the coming week.

tag I:
75.32 km / hm 29oI / o8: Io: 5o h / Ø 9.2 km / h
kufstein - Schwoich - Söll - Hochbrixen - bixen in thale - Kirchberg - Fleckalm - Ehrenbachhöhe - Pengelstein - Rettenbachalm - Stangenjoch - Baumgartenalm

almost typical for this summer it rained at the departure. but We were optimistic, according to the weather it was supposed to sch one are soon better. that the weather forecast had been wrong, however, by a good half day, we did not have time for this. It was really nice that is until the evening. So we kicked all day with the unusually heavy backpack without having to be rewarded with the panorama of the Wilder Kaiser. I sometimes had to recite : '! you do that voluntarily, you're on vacation', because the five r eun southern bet r-terms in th so very inconsistent with the image of the Transalp, the i ch me full of anticipation in my mind's eye had been knocked together. but we expect the host of baumgarten alm on a bnd before the cottage with liquor and the sight of the cheese dairy was cozy inside our good mood suddenly produced again. Have you actually ever stayed in a cottage, where the landlord in the evening moves into the valley, shows you where to hide the key and shall subject to the bill only says: "If ma anfoch Sun vii Ladl into how it Mante." and there have been in this cottage also a treasury with enormous amounts of cheese divine?











2 tag:
45.55 km / hm IIo4 / o3 : 29:52 h / Ø I3 o km / h
Baumgartenalm -. Bramberg - Neukirchen am GROßVENEDIGER - Krimml - Krimml Tauernhaus

the second day we went to much more comfortable. First, the monster-stage of the day before and leave their mark was the second cottage so comfortable since had a delicious breakfast to be easy. the late start in the morning but was also due to see why we were only up to the Krimml Tauern house and not as planned over the pass also over it. were

because it was Sunday and corresponding masses of tourists at the Krimml waterfalls, we eyed them from afar and went right to the driveway in the valley of the Krimml surface. but were there for our taste, far too many people on the go. because there are taxi-buses, the people with baby carriages and bicycles, the carts around 600 hm up to make them his pastures to the romantic valley of the Krimml area where the solitude-seeking biker can pre jump front wheel. that was the very first time I thought to myself that I would like a bell on my bike. had, and if the shop in bruneck then not only would such ugly models, I would have even bought one. But that's another story - back to the shortened second stage!

so we were in time warp and I have second the distances in the valley (which we have used because of the zigzag gps) underestimated. and then of course we were tired and when we were at home tauern, it was already after noon. and we suspected that would fit each mean 2 h to carry up and down, the time to carry out and the passage of time in ahrntal quartier miteingerechnet search yet. after much back and forth, the group has been linked by alpha-tierchen over'ruled 'and we stayed overnight. Matthew with his everlasting thigh-made batteries are still on their way to the valley and enjoyed the view of the glacier demolition of krimmlerkees. the rest of us dealt with walk walk, drink coffee, sleep, and listen to the still-young life story of the pregnant host-daughter. Blessing in disguise: the evening drew the weather just above the pass again and it threw what could only leave out the clouds. in this nasty weather we had got in detail.

day 3:
75.26 km / hm I43o / o6 : 46: I8 h / Ø I2 .5 km / h
Krimml Tauern house - Krimml Tauern pass - ahrntal - Campo Tures - bruneck - Olang

the next morning presented himself bright blue and we started very good at o7: ooh early direction tauern pass. not only because we learn from our mistakes, but because the Tauernhaus other (many others) were biker where we suspected that the target was the same and we did not want border transhumance in the middle. it was then but not so many. the Tauernhaus meet namely 2 transalp route and the Dolomiti Superbike as we drove seemed less popular
be. in the fabulous views, we hoisted our bikes this historic mule track up. the stubbornness that can create a bike the day when it is splinted by terrain would like to move, the said wire synonymous donkey vo n alone. I decided soon for my opinion ill for less and carrying my bike past the 300 hm like a lost sheep on my back. and then ka m the great surprise and reward:
the way down is ahrntal into the water groove in the book because of wider than
described impassable. actually however, the stones away almost as large paved and if you front and rear tire split good on to 40 cm wide 'raised' and then in the narrow reverse the retained balance, was a m unadulterated driving fun are no more obstacles. anyway - two of my rush happened here: the front tire was wedged and * plop * I'm already tumbled in slow motion like a potato sack suddenly left standing by the bike. Nevertheless: a highlight of the Absolut ODO tour!


Day 4:
6I.5 km / hm I5oo / o5 : 38:2 I h / Ø Io .9 km / h
Olang - Prato Piazza - passo Cimabanche - Cortina d'Ampezzo - Pocol

hardly at the entrance of the Dolomites, we were already in the middle. Prato Piazza seemed a similarly popular Attraction to be like our Schöckel. and now we had understood what 'feragosta' for South Tyrol and the Dolomites means half italy forces its way to the beer tables in front of the cottages and enjoy the fresh mountain air. and the local tourism operators face on a price of course;) we got the evening to feel in Pocol. We thought - finally bit early with looking for accommodation - we are smart and save us for the next day to 300 hm and drive on the same day up to Pocol, a place above Cortina. on the mountain road there was just one hotel, the price we had been on the phone misunderstood and in principle will cost us these few brief hm 40 euro more;) shit happens. anyway - it was murder strenuous 300 hm and we were all glad that we had it the next day behind us. the fact already promised to be even tedious.

and if you're really tired after a stressful day, amid magnificent mountain scenery (which makes it a really damn hard, the bike on to gaze away!), Then a pretty much every bed to sleep right.

the temperatures had now back to 'summer vacation' leveled off and the only storm of the day that we caught, we have been waiting for the coffee and cake at Prato Piazza. but also the ever so beautiful panorama and even the changing landscape I could not hide the mistake that I already present on the 4th tag at the wheel sat. my legs nice and slowly developed its own sake, no longer wanted to connect so completely in the frequency and deep as I wanted and I felt like I was always slower. In hindsight, I believe, however, that with the time it simply starts to perceive themselves somewhat distorted.

5 tag:
39.9 km / hm I7oo / o4 : 59:35 h / Ø 7 .8 km / h
Pocol - shelter five towers - Averau shelter - shelter Fedare - forest day cadore - Pescul - Mount Fertazza - with - alleghe

of Pocol from it first went in. And then sometimes precipitous climb to the cinque torri. we were broken again early because we knew it was waiting for a decent rise each morning and afternoon for us. but thanks to the sheer hard work the day before somewhat defused. Going up to the Rifugio Cinque Torri overtook us on this road remarkably narrow, steep lot of cars - all climbers as it turned out. From Rifugio we went on a steep and my tired legs still drivable dirt road 250 meters further up the good rifugio Averau to about 24oo hm. reached the top we expected a construction site for the new chair lift mountain station and the usual myriad Italians that this very 'ascended' were.

of rifugio Averau to Selva di Cadore, we were the first trails of the dream-day ride in beautiful conditions. then we went back upstairs to the monte fertazza with beautiful view of Monte Cristallo and down on the lake of Alleghe. were here on such a beautiful day again-all lifts in operation. this must be something of an illness in the Dolomites. and the Italians have for their part, thought sure that we are sick, as we tramp up there with our backpacks and crimson heads, where it yet so comfortable chairlifts There. anyway waiting for us at fertazza the second major highlight of our tour: IOOO hm trail directly to departure alleghe. The trail leads over Almboden designated, through forest, abandoned and not abandoned farm, earthy and stony ground and could provide turn by steep to comfortably all. probably because of my fatigue and the consequent (downhill ride is not enjoyable!) lack of concentration I have there, the 3rd sometimes involuntarily kissed the earth. clip pedals can be quite nasty if you do not come out in time and the focus shifted instead to hang above the wheel out away from the slope down to the slippers ...


6 tag:
Ioo.86 km / hm I985 / o7 : 48: 5I h / Ø I2 .8 km / h
Alleghe - Forcella San Tomaso - federation - is - Passo San Pellegrino - Predazzo - Molina - San Lugano - Auer - Tramin

from our last stage, there are almost no pictures, because had the weather gods love us only within the dolomites. been the morning the clouds hung low and the first rise, we already drove in the pouring rain. Passo San Pellegrino threw it so hard that we have hired, according to considerations where we might be able to find buses ground connections od Tramin. on the trails from the pass down had we do not, we moved everything to what we had and took the road down. again about IOOO hm departure - but this time it lashed us, the water in your face and fingers and toes have mutated into icicles in the shortest possible time. we decided to give the very last match and instead go directly away from the valley towards accurate. The weather improved to the extent that the wet things were somewhat dry to the backpack. but on the last 2o 2oo km and hm it poured buckets again in full. but ineressant, know what the target are about to make articulate and promising to clean dry can: powidl us was the rain. pants wet? shoes wet? who cares, is the next day anyway longer needed.

had to Tramin thanks silvana we no longer go to accommodation search. and thanks to Silvana, who had complied with the car we had for after the shower and fresh 'normal' things get dressed. had and luggage transport, thanks to Silvana's I also finally right hair shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, body lotion, make-up, ... :)

we enjoyed the wonderful evening with bacon dumpling soup , shepherd macaroni, grappa truffles, white and wine in a South Tyrolean this year and started the next morning with a wheel on the odyssey + bahn back to Kufstein.

was behind us a great and exhausting week, packed full of new impressions (mental as physical example on allerwärtesten) all span without coarser, injury or aberrations. only happy faces, especially those of the Transalp greenhorns who have managed to tour.

thank organize to René for, thank silvana on luxury goods transport and accommodation for the organization! and of course thank to the group of cohesion and understanding in spite of different fitness level:)

baba and until next time! ms
