What goes up must come down! With only one day left before school started, we had to use public transport to get back to Munich in time. I had no luck finding a direct transfer from the Sella area, and I doubt one exists. So, we were left with two options: Bolzano/Bozen or Brixen/Bressanone. You can look into trains, but be aware that bike spaces are extremely rare on these routes and sell out very quickly. I had no luck purchasing tickets from either city. Another option is FlixBus, which also offers bike spaces.
Luckily, we managed to secure tickets from Brixen/Bressanone for ourselves and our bikes.
The route back mostly follows our Day 5 track, but we chose a paved descent to the Eisack instead of the hike-a-bike forest paths we used on the way up. The route is nice overall, but the final section is quite steep.
Note that the FlixBus stop is outside the city limits, which makes for a very unpleasant final few kilometers along a busy main road. The stop itself offers nothing but a closed toilet and a couple of benches under the direct sun. It is best to sort out food, water, and entertainment beforehand to make the wait less exhausting.
The final stages of every journey are always special. We hope you found these routes and descriptions useful, and we'll see you out on the road!
