Tauern short break | Round trip starting in Salzburg

Arrival to Salzburg - the culturally rich city of Mozart. Take enough time for a stroll through the old part of the city and visit the Mozart´s Birthplace.

Your bikes are available in the booked hotel.

You follow the course of the Salzach river and soon reach Hallein. The salt mines, which have been closed since 1989, can be visited in the show mine (optional). A detour into the romantic Bluntau Valley is worthwhile for the more energetic. In Golling, you should plan enough time to visit the waterfall, which is well worth seeing.

Cycle on via Werfen, where Hohenwerfen Castle towers high above the Salzach. The famous Eisriesenwelt is also worth a visit. In Bischofshofen you can admire the ski jump, where the final of the Four Hills Tournament is held every year.

St. Johann is home to the famous Liechtensteinklamm gorge, a huge natural spectacle with a 50 m high waterfall at the end of the gorge. You can quickly get to Bruck an der Glocknerstraße on your bike. The high alpine road to the 3,797 m high Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain, is climbed by post buses to Franz-Josefs-Höhe from the beginning of July.

Sporty cyclists can also cycle around Lake Zell, while leisurely cyclists can use the lake for a refreshing dip. An evening stroll along the esplanade will remind you of a more southerly location and make you forget the daily grind completely.

Via Maria Alm with its famous pilgrimage church, you quickly reach Saalfelden, which is perfect for a lunch break. Other highlights on your way to Lofer are the Seisenbergklamm gorge and the Lamprechtshöhle cave near Weißbach. You should allow some time for these visits (optional).

On today's stage, you cycle through the tranquil Saalachtal valley. Bad Reichenhall in the small German corner will enchant you with its Bavarian flair. Just a short distance and you have reached your destination, the Mozart city of Salzburg.

The rich cultural offerings will delight you. You should plan enough time for a stroll through the old town and a visit to Mozart's birthplace (optional). The journey home takes place in the afternoon - unless you would like to extend your stay.
