Description

There is a free car park (made of concrete pavers) at the St. Martin im Kofel cable car station, from where you can easily access the cycle path. We take a leisurely stroll along the cycle path, past a playground and over the bridge to the left bank of the Adige. We follow the cycle path towards Reschen, with gentle ups and downs, passing a sawmill. Every now and then there are a few shaded spots with benches where you can take a break. We continue along the cycle path; the Linear Path, with a few gentle inclines, continues along the Adige until a short section bordering the main road, leading to a 90° left-hand bend that takes us to a bridge. At the bridge, we cross the Adige once more and return to the orographically right bank of the river. Continuing along the tarmac path, we reach Lake Goldrainer after about 50 metres. The lakeside walk is not fully accessible, but some paved sections are wheelchair-accessible. At the Goldrainer See snack bar, there is an accessible toilet and a large playground in the garden.
