The Rumo – Laurein link: Ride along the bilingual and cultural border – Tour 1422
A visit to the neighbouring country – as indicated by the official title of this beautiful tour to the Deutschnonsberg region. Between Rumo in the West and Laurein in the East they speak an undefined language - and cultural borders have been visibly crossed.
This link between Rumo in Trentino and Laurein in South Tyrol is a tour with views of the northern slopes of the Deutschnonsberg region and the Magdalene Mountain Range. The location offers spectacular views over Val di Non, the Mendelkamm, and the impressively rugged Brenta Dolomites. The Pescara stream flows down the upper Val di Nony and with its fast-flowing water cuts it into two like a sword. The stream water enters the gorge at Cagnò and flows into the Santa Giustina reservoir. It separates the western section of the Magdalene mountains from the eastern one at Mount Ozol. The terrain gets steeper and steeper giving the landscape its character. In order to go from one side to the other from here you need to go further north from the gorge. Geographically, the “Italian” picturesque Rumo with its scattered villages is only a stone’s throw away from South Tyrolean Laurein. However, the river has created an almost insurmountable division between them.
