WHAT IS THE 'CAAR' - CICLOVIA ALPE ADRIA RADWEG?

 

The CAAR (Ciclovia Alpe Adria cycle path) is a cycle path in Friuli that was elected as the most beautiful cycle path of Europe in 2015 on the bike & hike fair in the Netherlands. The route of 410 kilometers is fully marked and starts in the Mozart city of Salzburg in Austria and runs through the Friuli Venezia Giulia region where her final destination is Grado, the beautiful old port city and also resort on the Adriatic sea.

 

THE LAST THREE JOURNEYS PASS THROUGH FRIULI 

​

The route is divided into 8 stages of which the longest is 64 km and the shortest 37 km. The last three routes run through this Italian region. Along the route, there are several hotels and guest houses.

If you do not always want to bike you can put your bicycle for little money on the bus or on the train, the bus stops or train-stations are never far away from the trail. The bike trail sometimes goes slightly up or down and then you have to climb or descend but it never becomes really difficult.

​

Once arrived in Italy from Tarvisio touches Venzone, Gemona, Udine, Palmanova, Aquileia and finally Grado on the Adriatic Sea. A fascinating trail from the mountain to the sea. Delightful villages, natural monuments, interesting tourist attractions, cultural cities and magnificent landscapes accompany the cycle tourist along the entire route.
