The Alpe Adria Cycle Path: From the city of Mozart to the Adriatic Sea

From the Glacier to the Sea

T he Alpe Adria Cycle Path (Ciclovia Alpe Adria Radweg, hence the acronym CAAR), a cross-border long-distance cycle route linking Salzburg, on the northern side of the Alps, to Grado, a well-known Italian tourist and thermal center, overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

• Start location: Salzburg (Austria)
• Destination: Grado (Italy)
• Distance: 415 km
• Ascent: 5410 m
• Descent: 5804 m
• Multiday route: 8 days
• Direction: One way
• Surface: asphalt/aggregate surface
• Time required : 30H (A safe and relaxing bike trip)
• Difficulty: Medium

The path, by integrating old railway tracks and numerous tunnels, makes the Alpine crossing a pleasure tour on two wheels – with culture, sport, and cuisine.

Crossing the Alps by bike is a dream for many cyclists. And thanks to the perfectly prepared Alpe Adria bike path, you don’t even have to be a top athlete to master this tour. In just one week, it takes you from Mozart’s hometown Salzburg in Austria to the Italian Mediterranean Coast.

Make your way from the Gastein Valley to Böckstein , where a train takes you to Mallnitz on the other side of the Gamskarlspitze mountain range in just 11 minutes. Out in the open again, the bike path is winding through the Austrian county of Carinthia .

Once in Italy, you will pass Tarvis, Gemona, Undine, and Aquileia on your way to Grado on the Adriatic shore. Idyllic spots, beautiful tourist sights and impressive landscapes will accompany you on your trip to the South. One thing is for certain: every cyclist deserves a delicious gelato at the end of their trip, as well as a refreshing jump into the Adriatic Sea.

Eight cycling stages connect the city of Mozart to the Adriatic Sea. The Alpe Adria cycle path, by integrating old railway tracks and numerous tunnels, makes the Alpine crossing a pleasure tour on two wheels – with culture, sport and cuisine.

This itinerary is considered one of the most heterogeneous and scenographic cycling routes in Europe and offers continuous surprises for cyclists. You will cycle through pleasant towns, medieval villages and characteristic villages, riding along the banks of placid rivers and foaming streams that sometimes disappear into wild ravines. Alpine landscapes, peaceful villages and a host of sights will accompany you on your journey, while more than 20 tunnels will assist you on your journey, making an Alpine crossing an undertaking that requires a more manageable amount of energy.

The Alpe Adria Radweg cycle route has won awards “Best Cycle of the Year 2015” during the active tourism fair in Amsterdam and the “Oscar of Cycle tourism” at the Cosmobike in Verona in 2016.

From the suggestive alpine valleys, rich in woods and dominated by high mountains , we descend towards the fertile Friuli plain and the sunny Mediterranean beaches . While cycling along this path you will surely be fascinated by the continuous succession of natural wonders, historical monuments, rich popular culture and typical dishes of the regions crossed.

There is therefore no wonder that the number of cyclists who choose this track for their cycling holidays is increasing year after year!

You do not have to worry about transport from Grado back home to Carinthia and Salzburg. The Alpe Adria bike path runs almost continuously along the railway line . If required, various sections can be covered by train at any time. The “Micotra train ” connects the cities of Udine and Villach with its own bike carriage, offering a special service for every cyclist.

The Alpe Adria Cycle Trail is not only a perfect example of the good cooperation between the three states of Salzburg, Carinthia and Friuli–Venezia Giulia . It is also a practical example of how to get to know the culture and cuisine of three states within just a few days: today you can start with Salzburger Nockerl dessert, then enjoy the cuisine of the Carinthian Alps and Adriatic on the next day, followed by Italian delicacies in a trattoria in Tarvis, Udine or Grado.

STAGE 1: Salzburg-Bischofshofen 53 km

The first stage begins in the middle of the magical Old City of Salzburg City of Mozart, leading you on a leisurely ride southwards next to the River Salzach, and into the mountains of Salzburg’s Limestone Alps, past numerous natural monuments, high rock faces and impressive gorges.

We begin our stage on Mozartplatz square, in the heart of Salzburg’s beautiful Old City. The entire route of this stage is alongside the River Salzach.

We come to the old Celtic city of Hallein, and can also enjoy the refreshing waters of Golling Waterfall and beautiful Bluntautal valley. After a short climb, we cycle past the Salzachöfen, the point where the Salzach slices impressively through the rocks of the

Tennengebirge massif. Then we enter a narrow canyon leading to Hohenwerfen Castle, a picturesquely situated, medieval castle between the mountains of the Tennen- and Hagengebirge. Now the valley broadens and we reach Bischofshofen , the end of this first stage. Along the way are numerous natural monuments and sights, inviting us to pay them a visit and enjoy a well-earned refreshment break.

STAGE 2: Bischofshofen – Bad Gastein 52 km

The second stage takes us initially alongside the reservoirs on the middle Salzach to Schwarzach, then tackles a climb before entering the Gastein Valley. A bike path leads us from the entrance to the valley to Bad Gastein, a magnificent location with Gastein Waterfall in the center of town.

Our constant companions are the mountains of the Salzburg Alps. In Gastein Valley, views of the glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern mountains reveal themselves before our eyes.

From Bischofshofen to Schwarzach, we continue to enjoy a leisurely bike ride alongside the Salzach, which, at this point, is mostly regulated by dams. Along the way, we pass the county seat of St. Johann im Pongau – a detour to the might, neo-Gothic “Pongau Cathedral”, standing in the middle of the Oberer Markt, is always rewarding.

Between Schwarzach and the village of Klammstein at the entrance to Gastein Valley, we have to tackle a vertical gain of 200 meters. Since we also have to ride through a 1.5 km-long tunnel at the start of Gastein Valley, we can also take the train or a bike taxi for this section.

With no climbs worthy of note, our continued bike ride through the valley is truly enjoyable, bringing us first to Dorfgastein, then on to the heart of the famous spa town, Bad Hofgastein. From here, we keep to the banks of the Gasteiner Ache to Bad Bruck. The imposing backdrop of the world-famous spa town which surrounds the Gastein Waterfall comes closer and closer into view. The last few meters in Bad Gastein are then steeply uphill.

STAGE 3: Bad Gastein – Mallnitz-Spittal an der Drau 59 km

This stage begins in Gastein Valley or Mallnitz (depending on when you prefer to use the Tauernschleuse motorail service).

After the Tauernschleuse, we find ourselves in Carinthia, one of Austria’s most important tourism regions, located on the southern side of the Alps. On this stage, the Alpe-Adria Bike Tour generally takes us through the Lower Mölltal valley, nestled amidst some 3,000-meter tall mountains of the Reisseck Group to the north and the Kreuzeck Group to the south of the valley.

Outstanding sightseeing attractions and rewarding stopping-off points include the town center of Obervellach, Falkenstein Castle, Bernitz Waterfall, the Kreuzeck lift, Barbarossa Canyon, a rest area on the shores of the Möllstausee in Mühldorf, and the Teurinia Roman Museum outside Spittal. In the county seat of Spittal itself, we find the beautiful Renaissance Schloss Porcia, the Museum of Folk Culture, and the always-popular town park.

STAGE 4: Spittal an der Drau – Villach 39 km

At this stage, you will ride around 40 kilometers. Lots of small highlights await history buffs and nature lovers, such as the excavations of an early Christian church outside Molzbichl in the lower Drautal valley, the “Carantana” museum and Villach’s most popular mountain, the Dobratsch, located in a nature park of the same name.

Hot springs in Villach guarantee that even those with flagging spirits will quickly feel rejuvenated. In the summer 2012, Carinthia’s new Therme Warmbad-Villach will be opened, Austria’s most modern spa & aquatic experience. From Spittal, the Alpe-Adria Bike Tour takes us along the Drau Bike Path, which is well-developed and clearly marked. For most of this stage, our route keeps right on the banks of the river.

STAGE 5: Villach – Tarvisio 37 km

This stage takes us mainly alongside the Gail, on the southern side of the Villacher Alpe, and in parts also through Dobratsch Nature Park. Pedaling through small villages, we gradually approach the Italian border, which we cross at Thörl-Maglern.

Following an abandoned railway line, just a few kilometers beyond the border and we come to Tarvisio, our northern starting point for the Val Canale.

STAGE 6: Tarvisio – Venzone 61 km

To Dogna the cycling route is well equipped with signs and runs mainly on the bike path that was built on the former disused railway Pontebbana. Currently, the cycle route is passable all the way to Dogna

After Dogna, the experienced cyclist moves towards the South, along the path that runs on National Road n.13. They will follow it till Chiusaforte and then until Resiutta.

At Resiutta the experienced cyclist will again use National Road No 13 and go on the bridge of Moggio Udinese. The town of Moggio is reached by crossing this bridge over the river Fella.

The experienced cyclist can use local roads and stretches of national and provincial roads to reach the mentioned places. Give you full attention to the stretches of the path that are shared with cars and at the main road crossings.

STAGE 7: Venzone – Udine 55 km

The experienced cyclist can use local roads and stretches of national and provincial roads to reach the mentioned places. Give full attention to stretches in promiscuity with the cars and at the point of crossing the main roads. Pay close attention to the stretches of road with close proximity to cars and at the main road crossings.

The cycling route, called “Ippovia of Cormor Valley”, is not paved with asphalt but is equipped with signs and runs along the Cormor river from Buja to the Parco del Cormor (Cormor Park) at the west of Udine.

For crossing the city of Udine experienced cyclists will use part of the ordinary urban roads, and part of the existing cycling road.

STAGE 8: Udine – Grado 59 km

For crossing the city of Udine experienced cyclists will use part of the ordinary urban roads, and part of the existing cycling road. The experienced cyclist to reach the places mentioned, you can use for the greater part of the local road network. Give full attention to whether paths in promiscuity with the cars and at the point of crossing the main road.

The cycling route which is equipped with signs that run partly on a bike path and partly on local roads; starts from the “Porta di Aquileia (Aquileia door)” of Palmanova and ends near the cross with the National Road No 14, at the entrance of Cervignano.

For crossing of Cervignano town, the experienced cyclist can use ordinary urban roads. The cycling route which is equipped with signs that run mostly on the bike is built on the former disused railway Cervignano-Grado.

To reach the center of Grado, the cyclist will follow a short stretch of Regional Road No. 352, paying the utmost attention to motorized traffic transiting.

Poreč is a town and municipality on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula, in Istria County, west Croatia. Its major landmark is the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The town is almost 2,000 years old, and is set around a harbour protected from the sea by the small island of Sveti Nikola/San Nicola (Saint Nicholas). Its population of approximately 12,000 resides mostly on the outskirts, while the wider Poreč area has a population of approximately 16,600 inhabitants. The municipal area covers 142 square kilometres (55 sq mi), with the 37 kilometres (23 miles) long shoreline stretching from the Mirna River near Novigrad (Cittanova) to Funtana (Fontane) and Vrsar (Orsera) in the south. Ever since the 1970s, the coast of Poreč and neighboring Rovinj (Rovigno) has been the most visited tourist destination in Croatia.

Meet the girls who started an Eras Tour craze with some balloons and got a Swift shoutout

Thousands of fans illuminated the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany, on Tuesday with a new Eras Tour trend, 10 shows in the making.

As soon as lightning flashed and thunder roared following "Marjorie," Taylor Swift smiled into the stadium cameras and waltzed to the back of the stage to begin the "Evermore" chant: "Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark."

Swifties from every section of the stadium blew up orange and yellow balloons and started their phone flashlights to create their own "Willow" orbs, mimicking the dancers' light-up props onstage. Rain pattered down from the open-roofed arena.

How the 'Willow' trend began

Life was a willow and it bent right to the breeze of three Amsterdam Swifties.

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

Coralisa Meijer, 22, Charlotte Lanser, 24, and Samantha Davelaar, 25, walked into the Johan Cruijff Arena on July 4 with three yellow balloons and a bright idea. As Swift sang "Willow," they bobbed and waved their dollar-store orbs in the nosebleed section high above the throng of screaming fans.

"We had some extra space in Amsterdam," said Lanser over Zoom. "We were like, it will just be a fun little thing for us to do."

"Then we thought let's put our flashlights on," added Meijer. "And it just kind of happened, and people started filming us from the other side of the stadium, and it went viral."

Little did the trio know their novel idea would receive a shoutout from Swift seven shows later in the Veltins-Arena of Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

"There have been people bringing balloons to the Eras Tour to make their own orbs for 'Willow,'" Swift said to the crowd during her acoustic set. "I was cracking up the whole time. You guys are so thoughtful."

On the final night in Gelsenkirchen , the three friends dressed as clowns were invited to the VIP area on the floor —dubbed the Red Lounge — by the singer's team. They witnessed firsthand hundreds of fans blowing up their balloons and lighting up the arena.

"I get goose bumps every time I see it now," Meijer said.

"Sometimes we cry," Lanser added. "'Willow' has become one of our favorite songs within the past few weeks."

Swift liked a recent reel on the trio's combined Instagram page . A video showing how the craze started and how it's going has been viewed more than 400,000 times.

"I hope she knows how much we love her," Meijer said. "I hope she is happy every time she sees the lights, and I hope she knows that she makes friendships happen."

Swiftie impacts on the Eras Tour

The "Willow" trend is only the latest of many chants, props and crazes inspired by fans along the Eras Tour. Swift mentioned the thoughtfulness in Hamburg.

"You have so many traditions that you guys have totally made up — and we already had a lot of them when we got to the European tour — but you guys recently have been coming up with so many new things, like traditions on this tour," she said. "It's amazing. Thought I'd seen it all, and then we got to Germany."

Here is a list of some of the appended traditions not included in previous tours:

• "Lover" construction paper hearts: Fans hold pastel and vibrant pieces of paper cut into heart shapes during her seventh era title track song.
• "Love Story" proposal: Engagements have happened at concerts around the world during the "Fearless" song. Swifties have gotten down on one knee to pop the question when Swift sings the bridge line, "He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring / And said..."
• "We will stay" signs: During "Archer," a song cut from the second year of the Eras Tour, fans would print signs and hold them up in the audience that said, "We will stay." The signs answer one of the song's lyrics that asks, "Who could stay?"
• "All Too Well" question: When Swift sings, "You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine," to which fans respond, "How did that make you feel?" The "Red" singer answers with her lyric, "And that made me want to die."
• "Champagne Problems" standing ovation: When the singer finishes her "Evermore" acoustic song on the piano, fans start timers and scream as loud and long as they can to show appreciation of Swift. She mouths, "Thank you," "Wow" and "That's so loud" as she takes out her ear monitors. The tradition has incited competition between cities to see how long they can go before the singer speaks. On Aug. 8 in Los Angeles, fans kept cheering for almost eight minutes.
• "My Tears Ricochet" question: Influencer Chris Olsen yelled over a TikTok live in Tokyo, "Who's Grace?" after Swift sings the line, "I didn't have it in myself to go with grace." The funny quip caught on and is a response fans will yell during the devastating song.
• "Marjorie" phone lights: To pay tribute to Swift's grandma "Marjorie," fans turn on their phone flashlights during the "Folklore" song.
• "Style" question: In Atlanta, @starbornn.reader on TikTok shared a video shouting, "Hey Taylor, what time is it?" to which she sings "midnight / You come and pick me up." The video has 11 million views.
• "Blank Space" chant: In the 1989 World Tour movie, Swift grabbed an iron golf club and hit a metal pole sticking out of the stage. She paused and did it again before singing: "Syd-ney." The singer filmed the movie in 2015. When she brought the Eras Tour to the Australian city , the fans sang the chant back. "By the way, do you know how cool it was when I was singing 'Blank Space,'" she said to the 81,000 fans in Accor Stadium. Taylor Nation, Swift's in-house marketing team, tweeted shortly after that they wanted every city to scream its name.
• "Bad Blood" chant: On night two in Philadelphia , Swift defended fan Kelly Kelly in between the lines of her "1989" song: "She's fine. She wasn't doing anything. Hey stop! Hey stop!" Fans recite the Philadelphia version at shows. Swift's team invited Kelly to the VIP tent the next night.
• "Anti-Hero" lyric change: In the "Anti-Hero" remix featuring the Bleachers, Jack Antonoff's band, he sings "Taylor, you'll be fine" instead of her original lyric of "tale as old as time." Fans sing Antonoff's version during the "Midnights" track.
• "Bejeweled" question: Instagram fan Tyler Conroy shared a reel from the Houston Eras Tour where he shrieks, "Where you going, Taylor?" before she says, "I'm going out tonight." The funny exchange caught on and fans echo the viral video.
• "Karma" lyric change: During Travis Kelce's first Eras Tour concert as Swift's boyfriend, she changed the lyrics to: "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me." She only sings that lyric when the tight end is in the crowd and — even though she's performed it only 13 times — the crowd sings the boyfriend shoutout every night.

Swift has one more show in Hamburg, Germany, on Wednesday and two shows in Munich, Germany, this weekend.

Karol G Doesn’t Have Any Plans After Her Tour—and She’s Okay With That

The superstar reflects on her life-changing shows, recording “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” with Coke Studio, and letting life surprise her.

For almost the entire past year, she has brought her latest album, Mañana Será Bonito , on the road in the United States, Latin America, and now Europe, concluding with a sure-to-be-epic final show in Madrid tonight. (She’s even live-streaming the performance to fans on YouTube.) She’s already made history along the way, most recently commanding the largest Latin European tour in history, selling out shows in all 10 cities. According to Live Nation, she’s the Latin artist with the fastest sell-out rate in London, and the first female artist to hold four consecutive stadium shows in Spain.

The European crowds have been “super hype, and the energy was next level because I think there is for sure a [big] Latina community that is visiting the shows,” the artist says. “I feel [like] they are really happy because we are bringing a piece of their homes, our culture, to them.”

We caught up with Karol G to discuss the final moments of her tour and her new, merengue-inspired summer anthem.

Your tour is officially the biggest Latin tour in Europe ever. How does that feel?

First, it feels unreal because there are a lot of artists that I admire that have been an inspiration for me, and to see our tour making history, it’s crazy. At the same time, I don’t want to take it for granted. I just want to step on those stages and keep dreaming. I feel that I’m a representation not just for Colombia, [but] for my Latina community, all the countries in Latin America. I feel that they [think of] me as a representation. That means even more to me on this tour.

Your latest song, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” which you made with Coke Studio, is a bona fide summer bop. What was it like writing that in the studio? You worked some merengue elements in there, too.

In January, before the tour, I went to L.A. for a month. I [spent a whole] month in the studio working on new music. And I got this idea to do a summer vibe song because I love summer...I love the ocean and I love the sun and I love what I feel when I’m close to all these things. So I went to the studio, we did this song, and we worked on a bunch of new music, and I remember that my team called me. We had different opportunities with different brands, but this was a big opportunity to do this Coke Studio session. They were looking for something really Latino and [with] a summer vibe. And I was like, I think it’s super great if they follow an idea that I had to [be on] a rooftop where I can see the ocean…and everything was so perfect for me. To have the opportunity to go global with a song that represents Latinos is super amazing. So I’m super happy.

And then you filmed the actual music video in the Dominican Republic. What was that energy like?

The Dominican Republic is, for me, one of those places where you go and you cannot get over it, ever. The people have a subculture that is really special. They have a genre of music and the culture of the people in the streets, in the hoods...it’s super real. So when you get there, you get the vibe, you get involved and you fall in love and you cannot get over it.

I remember that I went to the Dominican Republic to do the concert that I had there for the tour. I made the decision that “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” was the song that I was going to do for Coke Studio and that I wanted it for the summer. So to make the decision there, I played the song a bunch of times, backstage at rehearsals and everything, [and] it just made me think that the vibe was there. So that’s why I chose the place to do the video. And because of the music, because the merengue that I did is from there. So to be real, I really wanted to do “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” in that country, with the people and everything.

It looked like it was so fun to shoot. You’re there dancing and singing with everybody.

It was. It is crazy, because when I got into the place that we recorded the first part of the video, they were shooting half of the day. They were shooting things without me. And even when I got there, people were so happy and dancing and they already knew the lyrics of the song and I saw them just having a great time and vibing and I had a really great feeling about what we were doing. It was going to be a summer anthem because the vibe, it never lies. We were super happy, we danced, we ate. It was crazy. I loved it.

When you perform it live on your tour, it seems like the energy is great, you’re hearing people sing it back to you and seeing everybody dance to it. Is it just as fun to perform it in front of an audience?

That one was special, because we launched this song and I didn’t perform it for two weeks and everybody was expecting it, like, hey, we really want this song . So when we finished the shows, we’d just put the song on for the people to listen to and people kept dancing and singing, even though the show had ended. But our first time playing it was in Lisbon, the first night. And it was a surprise, because I finished the show and I went offstage and when people were about to leave, we just turned on the bracelets [the light-up wristbands]. … And that moment was crazy. It was like a gift, because the show was finished and when we played it, people were screaming so loud and singing the lyrics and dancing. I did a video for TikTok doing a dance that I didn’t know was about to be a challenge. And I went down with my fans and where everybody was doing the challenge...it was magical.

It seems like this tour has been life-changing for you. You shared a very sentimental post on Instagram about how hard it will be to say goodbye. Could you talk a little bit about what it’s meant to you? Have you learned anything new about yourself from these performances and seeing your fans?

I think that today is a really nostalgic day for me. I have been crying the whole day. It’s amazing to see where I came from, my city and my family, and a lot of years that I was dreaming and working for this and having the support of my family and my parents. And it’s crazy to see how everything became a reality and I didn’t feel it. It was like it happened over a long time, because it [has] already [been] 18 years of my career, but at the same time, it feels so fast. When we started doing this tour, we didn’t expect that we’d be doing stadiums. We just launched the album, and I just took every opportunity that came. I was growing as a person in front of my fans in this album. I had the saddest moments in my life written in the music, and I have the most amazing experiences with them onstage.

I have a heart full of emotions. All of them take me to a different place. But I’m super proud that I was healing my heart at the same time with my fans, with my people, with my music. And this project has a lot of love and a lot of soul and I am super happy that the most vulnerable work in my life was the album that connected the most with my fans. What I feel right now is that our love and our connection is super real, because they could see Carolina in everything that I did. I think they really love the person and not the brand, and not anything else. It’s incredible to experience.

Are you writing music on the road too?

Writing music? All the time. Everywhere. But right now I don’t have a plan. It’s crazy because, right now, it’s the first time in my life that I don’t have a plan for what’s next. I’m just doing music everywhere I go because I find a muse in everything I see and with the things that I experience and my emotions. But I don’t know what’s going to be next. I don’t know if I want to launch an album soon or not, or if I want to just stay away for a while because a tour [takes] a lot from you too.

I just decided to be really present in what I was doing because I don’t know if I’m going to do it again. So I really made the decision to be super present and not be thinking, What’s next? What’s next? What’s next? I’m just doing music because I love doing music, and I’m going to finish this tour and I’m going to be away for a while. I am going to let life surprise me with what’s next.

Will Travis Scott cause an earthquake at Circus Maximus concert at MetLife Stadium?

1 minute read.

What's the forecast for October? Hip-hop with a chance of an earthquake.

Travis Scott's Circus Maximus Tour, which comes to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Wednesday, Oct 9, has been literally rocking Europe. The locals thought the earth shook when Scott played his “rager” anthem “Fe!n” eight times in a show at his July 23 show at the Ippodromo Snai La Maura venue in Milan, according to the Il Messaggero website.

“Last night was a dream,” said Scott Wednesday, July 24, on social media. “Milan yall owe me nothing. Yall gave.”

The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said there was no earthquake, but the 80,000 in attendance were certainly rocked. Scott's show at the same venue last year also caused similar reports.

The Circus Maximus Tour played in our area in late 2023, and shows included a stop at the Prudential Center in Newark, where he performed “Fe!n,” a single from Scott's album, “Utopia,” 10 times in a row.

This current leg of the tour plays Europe and South America, with only one North American show, the MetLife date. Tickets, starting at $120, are currently on presale.

General public sale begins at 10 a.m. Friday, July 26.
