Dolomites Night Drive – Lienz to Kastelruth

Lienz, Austria is a scenic town nestled in the Eastern Alps. In the fall of 2022 we had the opportunity to drive from this town through the Italian Dolomites mountain range to picturesque town of Kastleruth, South Tyrol.

Our journey started from Lienz after getting supplies from a Hofer grocery store (a.k.a ALDI)

The drive time is a little over 2 hours but covering that 133km distance in the evening on a road I never drove before, took us a bit more.

Scenic mountain highways of Tyrol, Austria look beautiful in fall color in the afternoon

The final stretch of this route gets off the highway to the winding mountain roads of South Tyrol and driving that at night was quiet and adventure!

The lovely town of Kastleruth looked lovely in the early morning after our night drive
