Tauern Cycle round trip

The impressive mountain range of the Hohen Tauern gave the Tauern Cycle Path its name. Sights worth seeing and natural spectacles make cycling on the Tauern cycle path truly enjoyable. The cultural highlight is of course the Mozart city Salzburg with many sights worth seeing, but almost all the places on the Tauern Cycle Path are enchanting in their very own way.

TOUR PROFILE: The bike tour is on low traffic roads and through the flat valley of Saalach and Salzach, where only slight inclines are to overcome. total Lenght: approx. 267 Kilometers by bike

Individual arrival and overnight in the Mozart-City Salzburg.

Along the Salzach you cycle to Hallein. Here is worth a visit to the mine Salzwelten. Then you cycle to Golling with the eponymous waterfalls. You continue to Werfen, where Hohenwerfen Castle towers high above the Salzach. In Bischofshofen you can visit the ski jumping hill, which is a stop on the four hill tour every year. Overnight stay in Bischofshofen (category Comfort) or in St. Johann (category De Luxe).

TIP: It is worthwhile to take a side-trip to the giant ice world in Werfen (for which you will need to plan approx. 4 hours; we would be happy to book an overnight stop-over for you in Golling; price on request).

Travelling via Bruck at the foot of the Großglockner, you continue cycling to Zell am See. Here you can enjoy a pleasant swim in the Zeller Lake.

This cycling day begins with a train or bus ride to Krimml (incl.). From there it is only 3 km to the largest waterfall in Europe, the famous Krimmler Waterfalls (incl.). The return trip by bike leads you through the Pinzgau from town to town and the snow-covered three thousanders tower in the background: Großvenediger, Großglockner and Kitzsteinhorn.

Travelling via Maria Alm with the known pilgrimage church, you cycle via Saalfelden in the direction of Lofer. It is worthwhile to take a side-trip to the Seisenbergklamm (gorge) and the Lamprechtshöhle (cave).

The last stage leads through the tranquil Saalach valley. The health resort Bad Reichenhall in the „small German corner“ is enchanting with Bavarian flair. You then continue through the wide plain of the Salzburger Basin to your departure point of your round trip.
