From the town 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 onto the cycle path towards Merano. We pass through the villages 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 town's open air swimming pool. We cross the wooden bridge and continue to the next intersection, `where` we turn left to the Forst brewery. Near the brewery we cross the state road again and take the climb leading to Marlengo. Via a hilly road we arrive in Marlengo. We pass through the town and descend to Cermes and then Lana (signposted). In Lana we cross two roundabouts and arrive at an intersection `where` the road turns sharply to the left. We continue straight ahead 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 through the apple orchards towards Bolzano. We continue along this road until we come to a roundabout near a petrol station. We cross the roundabout and continue straight to the next intersection. Downhill we pass by a sawmill. We continue along the road keeping to the left, before passing through an underpass. Next we arrive at a snack bar. We turn right and cross the flyover leading over the MEBO freeway towards Terlano (248 m). Once in Terlano, we turn right and take the climb that leads to Meltina. After a steep and tiring climb, we arrive in Frassineto and finally in Meltina (1142 m). We continue along the plateau towards Verano (1132 m) and Avelengo (1280 m). Once in Avelengo, we ride downhill towards Merano. We pass through the center of Merano and continue to Lagundo. At the junctions we follow the signs that take us back to the cycle path and to the climb that leads to Tel. In Tel we cross the state road and get back to the cycle path that leads us to Naturno.
