From Bruneck city center on Graben, we head east along the southern embankment of the Rienz. The route soon leads past the sports facilities through the forest, after a tunnel we reach the Roman road, which takes us to the shady Unterwielenbach. This side road with little traffic takes us further to Olang, which consists of the three towns of Niederolang, Mitterolang and Oberolang that we drive through.
There is a short, steep descent past the cemetery, then the cycle path branches off to the right. The unpaved but good gravel road runs along the south bank of Lake Olanger through the forest to Welsberg. After bypassing the town, the path leads to the entrance to the Braies Valley, known for Lake Braies and the Dolomites of Braies, and on to Niederdorf.
Following the Frau-Emma-Straße in Niederdorf, which leads through the town center, you soon continue through green meadows on a dirt path to Dobbiaco. Past the train station, which is outside the village center, the cycle route continues along field paths to Innichen.

Nature Reserve

Lake Valdaora

Highlight • Lake

The Olang Reservoir (also Welsberger Reservoir, Welsberger Lake or Olanger Lake, Italian Lago di Valdaora) is located in the upper Puster Valley in South Tyrol. It dams the Rienz River at a height of up to 1055 m and covers an area of up to 44 hectares. The reservoir is used to generate energy. In addition to the water from the reservoir, the associated Bruneck-Olang hydroelectric power station also uses catchments on the Rienz tributaries Antholzer Bach, Brunstbach, Furkelbach and Wielenbach.
