This stage takes you on a leisurely ride through the heart of the Brixen Valley and is ideal as a shorter day of enjoyment within the KAT Bike Light Tour. With no significant climbs, there is plenty of time to enjoy the alpine cultural landscape at a leisurely pace. The tour starts in Kirchberg in Tyrol. On well-maintained cycle paths and quiet side roads, the route leads out of the valley through open meadow landscapes. After a few kilometres, it passes through Brixen im Thale, followed by Westendorf, typical Tyrolean villages that are ideal for a short break. The route deliberately avoids major traffic arteries. While your gaze wanders over the wide valley floor and the surrounding grassy mountains, the cycle path leads you into the Windau Valley. The gently sloping route allows for a steady, relaxed pace. The stage destination of Hopfgarten im Brixental is reached without much effort. The charming village centre with its striking Baroque church is a fitting end to this peaceful day of cycling.
