Circular tour through the Salzkammergut region (AT)

Detailed tour description

Day 1: Individual arrival in Salzburg
Take your time to stroll through the old town of Salzburg and visit some of its famous sights. The archbishops began to transform the city of Salzburg into a Baroque jewel more than 400 years ago. Thanks to the incredibly wealthy of the diocese resulting from salt and gold trade, important architects were brought to Salzburg and created a city planning masterpiece that is treasured and protected today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Day 2: Salzburg – Lake Wolfgangsee (approx. 50 km)
As you cycle through Salzburg’s Flachgau via Eugendorf to Thalgau you will pass the impressive Drachenwand (dragon wall) before reaching picturesque Lake Mondsee. Up in Scharfling a magnificent view opens up towards Lake Wolfgangsee from where it goes down rapidly to lovely St. Gilgen, Mozart’s town. Highlight of the day is a relaxing boat trip across Lake Wolfgangsee.

Day 3: Lake Wolfgangsee – Lake Traunsee (approx. 40 - 50 km)
In the morning you will cycle in direction to Bad Ischl, which was the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph and many artists that came here to enjoy the imperial city and famous spa resort. Continue cycling along the River Traun via Ebensee before reaching Traunkirchen an Lake Traunsee, which forces its way through the Traunstein Mountain and the Höllengebirge range.
