Cycling Via Claudia Augusta
Claudia Augusta: Veloce bike rental from Munich - Donauwörth to Verona -Venice
Since 2010 we are proud to provide our rental services on the Via Claudia Augusta, an ancient Roman road dating back to the 1st century AD.
The Claudia Augusta has evolved from a crucial trade and military route into a modern-day cycling adventure through the heart of Europe.
Today, cyclists from around the world traverse this historic path using our quality bike rental services delivered at the accommodations in Germany, experiencing a unique blend of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes, ending their cycling holiday experiences in Verona or Venice.
The roots of the Via Claudia Augusta trace back to the ambitious infrastructure projects of the Roman Empire. Constructed to facilitate trade and military movements, this road connected the Adriatic Sea with the Danube River, spanning over 250 miles. Its historical significance as a conduit for commerce and communication during the height of the Roman Empire is palpable along every mile.
In contemporary times, the Via Claudia Augusta has found new life as one of the most beautiful cycling routes of Europe where cycling enthusiasts love to enjoy a unique journey across the Alps pedaling through picturesque landscapes enjoying art, food and nature.

Choose bike friendly accommodations strategically, pack essential gear, and be prepared for the varying terrains. Remember that you will have to climb some mountain passes, not too difficult, but that definitely need to be a little trained before starting this trip. In addition, at high altitude the climate changes suddenly, you need to be equipped in case it can find sudden rain.
But if you don’t feel like climbing the mountain passes you can always consider the bike shuttle service that is provided by some local bus companies as this one or others you can find on google.
To make you enjoy the Via Claudia Augusta cycling experience we can provide quality carbon road bikes (with the possibility to install frame bags), gravel bikes, e-bikes and touring bike rental service with delivery and collection at the accommodations.
All our bikes are provided with rack, panniers, puncture kit, toolkit, spare tubes, lock, helmet, lights, pump and pedals.
