DAY 7 A DAY IN SOUTH TIROL 9 AUGUST<br />
Today will be an official rest day, <strong>and</strong> a chance to recharge<br />
the batteries for the Sella Ronda tomorrow!<br />
Bolzano is in the upper middle of <strong>Italy</strong> in the foothills of the<br />
Alpes. It is a German-speaking town with an architectural<br />
appearance mixed between German <strong>and</strong> Italian. It is<br />
bustling <strong>and</strong> picturesque with several impressive town<br />
squares filled with busy shoppers <strong>and</strong> outdoor markets.<br />
A sightseeing must is the museum containing the "iceman"<br />
Otzi, the oldest preserved human. Bolzano is located in a<br />
broad valley basin, in just a few minutes, the ‘three cable<br />
cars’, leaving from town, take you up to the mountain<br />
woodl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> meadows to above 1000m altitude. Here<br />
you can enjoy magnificent views of the <strong>Dolomites</strong> <strong>and</strong> a<br />
refreshing mountain walk.<br />
With castles, museums, cable cars, cafes <strong>and</strong> restaurants<br />
abound, Bolzano has so much to offer. You’ll be tempted to<br />
take a peak in the real estate windows.<br />
For those interested, we could take the short drive to<br />
Merano <strong>and</strong> visit the largest brewery in the region, Forst –<br />
you’ll love this beer!<br />
The region is also responsible for producing one tenth of<br />
the wine in <strong>Italy</strong> <strong>and</strong> certainly some of the best. Today you<br />
may also like to visit some of the local wineries to test that<br />
theory for ourselves!<br />
Today is a day where the options are plenty <strong>and</strong> we know<br />
this town very well so will have lots of ideas for your day off<br />
the bike.<br />
That said, if you are keen to stretch the legs, we can take<br />
an early morning ride along the beautiful bike path along<br />
the river.<br />
