Route

Country roads, cycling paths, field paths, terrain is hilly with some larger uphill stretches.

Individual arrival. Use the extra time for a stroll through the picturesque old part of this cultural and fascinating town.

Bike hand-over (if rental bikes are booked) in Hotel Amedia Salzburg. You begin the tour exploring the birthplace of the world famous classical composer W.A. Mozart and then head north to the old train tracks of the Salzkammergut railway. After cycling through Eugendorf and St. Gilgen you reach the southern banks of the blissful lake "Wolfgangsee", where you enjoy a nice boat ride.

The day begins with a relaxing boat ride on Lake Wolfgangsee (Cat. C). You explore St.Wolfgang before you cycle to the old imperial village of Bad Ischl, where you find traces and follow the footprints of Emperor Franz Josef and his Empress Sissi all over the area. A "must-do" is a stop at the famous pastry shop "Zauner". Be careful, don’t eat too much! Along the river Traun you cycle until Traunkirchen.

One of the many highlights on this tour is the stop-off in Gmunden. Gmunden is a scenic village on the northern bank of the Traunsee and former imperial salt capital, but nowadays it’s well known for its touristic importance and beautiful handmade ceramics. You then move along further to the gorgeous area of lake Attersee.

Take in and enjoy the ride along the Attersee, one of the most favourite lakes for locals and visitors alike in the Salzkammergut Region. This lake has already inspired famous artists like composer Gustav Mahler and painters Gustav Klimt and Christian Ludwig Attersee. Your path continues to Mondsee and then onto the village of Mondsee. Visit the church, which was used as a romantic backdrop for the wedding in the musical "The Sound of Music".

Along the old tracks of the "Ischler" railway that once brought guests into the Salzkammergut, you will cycle further to the Trumer Lake District; Obertrumer See, Mattsee and Grabensee. Fans of Beer should visit the Trumer brewery!

On the day before departure there is still plenty of time to enjoy nature’s beauty and pristine, before you cycle back to Salzburg.

Individual departure or extend your stay in Salzburg. Enjoy this great city!

Very good

I think that it was level 3 (not 2) and it was very difficult. The Hotel Gasthof Neumayr, Obertrum is not appropriate to category A
