Baltic Adriatic Run 2011 - Route Planning

Yesterday I was thinking that I might use the E1 walking route from Kiel to Genoa and that would mean ending the run on the west side of Italy rather than the eastern Adriatic side. However, I've now found that the E5, which goes from Brittany to Verona, crosses the E1 round about Konstanz/Lake Constance somewhere. If I start out on the E1 from Kiel, go south all the way through Germany, pick up the E5 at Konstanz and follow it through the Eastern Alps to Verona then I'm just 60 miles from Venice and the Adriatic.
I know, what's the difference between ending in Genoa and ending in Venice? Well, my old friend Thomas Duncan has promised me a place to crash for a couple of days in Treviso. It would be nice to finish the run among friendly faces.
There's a Cicerone book on that last, Eastern Alps, section of the E5 which I need to get. I can feel a visit to Stanford's coming on.
