From the center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione / Bahnhofstraße which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige / Etschdamm. We turn left on the cycle path towards Merano. We pass through the villages of Plaus and Rablà until we reach Tel. We cross the state road and take the new cycle path to Lagundo which takes us downhill to the Lagundo swimming pool. We cross the wooden bridge and continue to the next intersection. We turn left to the Forst brewery. Near the brewery we cross the state road and take the climb that leads to Marling. On a hilly road we finally arrive in Marling. We cross the town and descend to Cermes and then to Lana (marked). In Lana we cross two roundabouts and arrive at an intersection where the road turns sharply to the left. We continue straight on a short stretch of cobblestone towards Lana di Sotto. We pass the church of Lana di Sotto (where the altar of Schnatterpek is located) and continue among the apple orchards towards Bolzano. We continue along this road until we come to a roundabout with an attached petrol station. We cross the roundabout straight to the next intersection. Downhill we pass near a sawmill and then continue along the road keeping to the left. We pass an underpass and arrive at the winestreet. We turn to the right and we pass the flyover that passes on the MEBO freeway in direction Terlano. We cross Terlano and continue along the old state road towards Merano passing through Gargazzone and Postal. Once in Merano we cross the center and continue to Lagundo. At the junctions we follow the signs that take us back to the cycle path and to the climb that goes to Tel. In Tel we retrace the cycle path up to Naturno.
