02_Brenner exploration

As expected the left side route was not crowdy and had it’s own interesting character. What I did not expect is the fact that you collect more altitude meters – perhaps due to the fact that the road was not that forced into the landscape. Once you reach the 1000 meter level there’s a lot of in- and declining. And the almost last 10 km you have to go on the national route.

View back to Innsbruck while climbing.
See all Brenner options: on the left the autobahn, below the national road and in the foreground the left side road.
On the Brenner top
Downhilling to Sterzing on a separate cycling road.
Under the bridge, then you know it’s not far anymore to Sterzing – the start of the next climb to the Penser Joch.
Up the Joch.
There are 13 km to go, and 1300 altitude meters. A real average 10% pass forces to breaks..
The pass building you already can see from about 3 km distance – and 300 altitude meters. Is this an advantage or disadvantage?
Cold view to the downhill road.
