Overview

A short trip in Austria that allows the whole family to rest. A break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, fresh air and crystal-clear lakes that invite you to jump in. Swimming, cycling and enjoyment is the name of the game during this cycling holiday with the family. Don't forget the culinary delicacies from the region - share a portion of Salzburger Nockerl and immerse yourself in the Salzburg Lake District with us. You cycle along the river Salzach and through numerous nature reserves, past countless lakes with options for a swim. . You cycle always on well-maintained cycle paths. The cycling stages are between 30 and 45 km long, the topography ranges from flat along the Salzach to hilly between the Innviertel lakes and Mondsee or Salzburg. We recommend that children have a good basic level of fitness and good cycling skills (including safety in traffic). Arrival in the culturally rich City of Mozart. Regardless whether you stroll along the river Salzach with ice cream in hand, glance over the roofs of Salzburg high up from the hill ‚Kapuzinerberg’ or start with a shopping spree in the ‚Getreidegasse’: you can feel the wonderful flair, Salzburg simply oozes culture everywhere. No matter what age you are, Salzburg will enchant you! Welcome meeting and rental bike distribution. After a short ride by regional railway, you autonomously start your family tour full of beans in Oberndorf (exercised cyclists can take already the bike to cycle to Oberndorf), birthplace of the most famous Christmas carol ever: ‚Silent Night’. Then onwards along the lovely babbling river Salzach into the diverse nature of Austria’s largest moor area: here the warm lakes Höllerersee and Holzöstersee with lido for families await. Just like a little Garden of Eden Here in the nature reserve, time seems to stand still. You cycle past the animal paradise to Michaelbeuern and from there into the Trumer-Lake district with its three crystal clear lakes, Lake Obertrumer See, Lake Mattsee and Lake Grabensee. This is the best place to cool off, have fun and relax in the glistening water after your cycling tour. You cycle along the awesome lake “Wallersee“ with its beautiful lidos to Seekirchen and further to Eugendorf. From there you bike along the old „Ischler Bahntrasse, a shutdown train path, to the city of Mozart: Salzburg.
