At the end of the day, the only question that remains is: Which bacon tasted better? This question can be discussed for a long time in the evening over a Speckjaus'n.

We ride west from Tröpolach to Kötschach - Mauthen and over the Plöckenpass (1,360m above sea level) to Italy. Via Timau and Paluzza we reach the turn-off to Sutrio on the right. Here we turn off and continue via Ravascletto to Comeglians. At the crossroads, turn right at an acute angle heading north via Rigolato and Forni Avoltri to Sappada.

Just before Sappada (Bloden) you reach the highest point of this valley (Cima Sappada 1,290m above sea level). High above Sappada, on Monte Perolba - on the Austrian border is the source of the famous River Piave.

We continue through the Piave gorge, San Pietro to Santo Stefano di Cadore. Here at the crossroads we turn right via Comelico to the Krezberg - Monte Croce (1,636m above sea level). We are now in South Tyrol and reach the village of San Candido in Val Pusteria through the Sesto Valley. At the crossroads we turn right again over the border to East Tyrol, as far as Tassenbach. Now we turn right over the Drau and up the mountain to the Karitscher Sattel (1,530m above sea level). The Gail has its source on this saddle at the so-called "Tannenwiese".

We ride along it until we reach Carinthia "on the Wacht". Via Maria Luggau, Lorenzen, Liesing, Birnbaum and St. Jakob we ride through the winding Lesachtal valley. From Kötschach-Mauthen we reach our starting point in Tröpolach after 25km.
