You begin your journey in the Mozart city of Salzburg and cycle across the gentle, lakescape of the Salzkammergut. In Linz you reach the Danube. From here follow the Danube across the Strudengau and the Wachau until you finally reach Vienna. In Salzburg and Vienna we recommend additional nights, so you can experience these two cities. It's worth it.

This tour is perfect for:

  • Romantics: The small towns and villages along the cycle path invite you to dream.
  • Lovers of half-timbered houses: the half-timbered villages and small towns will cast a spell over you.
  • Wine lovers: those who would like to enjoy a glass of fine wine, for example at a wine tasting.

Highlights

Salzburg
Salzburg is unique – in every regard. Anyone who has ever immersed themselves in the magic of the world-famous City of Mozart can never escape it again. The harmonious interplay of landscape and architecture, art and culture, as well as traditional and modern, all within a surprisingly small area, merely adds to the special charm of this place. Salzburg is the city where W. A. Mozart was born and the shooting location for "The Sound of Music". The narrow lanes and broad squares of this baroque city have taken their deserved place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The internationally acclaimed Salzburg Festival, the magnificent panorama and the countless temptations of Christmastime make Salzburg a complete artwork in its own right, and one that is quite beyond compare.

Mondsee
The MondSeeLand in the Salzkammergut with the two warmest Salzkammergutseen, Mondsee and Irrsee, has seven municipalities. It is an attractive tourist region and was already a popular holiday destination in the Monarchy. Only 27 km away from Salzburg, the MondSeeLand is today one of the most popular summer holidays of numerous international guests.

Attersee
Attersee is the largest lake in Austria with an area of 46.7 km2.
It consists of 3 tubs of different size & depth - 20 km in length and 2 to 3 km wide - at its deepest point it measures 171 meters. The magic of Lake Attersee and the fantastic landscape will also capture and inspire you. The Attersee as a wonderful bathing lake with drinking water quality offers ideal conditions for the holiday with the whole family. Even water sports enthusiasts - above and under water - find optimal conditions at Austria's largest lake, attracting tourists from all over the world every year.

Gmunden Traunsee
The lively town Gmunden / Traunsee with southern charm has lost none of its attractiveness since its appointment to the spa town (1862). Its unique location on the banks of the Traunsee, surrounded by mountains, together with its cultural past is a special flair.

Burgtheater Vienna
The Mount Olympus of Vienna’s theater landscape is the Burgtheater Vienna (known locally as the Burg). As an institution, the Burg transcends its role as a mere stage. It’s part of the Viennese consciousness; a place to be seen and to see, a one-time plaything of political intrigue and a symbol of Vienna’s rise, fall and rise again from the ashes of war. The theater traces its roots back to 1741 when an enterprising entrepreneur sought permission to convert a disused building on the Michaelerplatz into a stage. Despite the initial blessing of the Empress Maria Theresia, the new theater struggled to establish itself.

Schönbrunn Palace
The former summer residence of the Habsburgs (Schönbrunn Palace) impresses with imperial ceremonial rooms and magnificent gardens. Maria Theresa, Emperor Franz Joseph, Empress Elisabeth and others once resided here. Schönbrunn Palace is one of Europe's most beautiful Baroque complexes and has been in the possession of the Habsburgs since 1569. The wife of Emperor Ferdinand II, Eleonore von Gonzaga, had a pleasure palace built on the site in 1642 and called the property "Schönbrunn" for the first time. The palace and garden complex created from 1696 onwards following the siege of Vienna was complete redesigned under Maria Theresa after 1743. Today, due to its historical significance, its unique layout and magnificent furnishings, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Arrive early, because it's worth it. The festival city of Salzburg welcomes you with lots of charm and top-class sights, such as Salzburg's old town, Hohensalzburg Fortress and Mirabel Palace. Check into the hotel you have booked in Salzburg.

You leave the Mozart city of Salzburg on a gentle up and down towards Wallersee. A break in Mondsee is worthwhile, as the town offers you a pretty town center and a beautiful lakeside promenade. You then cycle along the banks of the picturesque Mondsee to Austria's largest inland waterway, the Attersee.

Today holds a short ascent into the Weißenbachtal valley in store for you. However, a rapid descent to the banks of the Traun and on to the European Capital of Culture, Bad Ischl, makes up for this. There you visit the Salt Lake City exhibition, which is dedicated to salt and water. You then follow the Traun at a leisurely pace to Ebensee on Lake Traunsee. Continue by boat to your destination for the day, the ceramics town of Gmunden. Visit the manufactory of the famous hand-painted ceramics.

Today you follow the cycle path along the Traun to Lambach on flat paths. In the afternoon, take the train to Linz (incl.). The famous Linzer Torte is a tempting treat in the city's coffee houses, but the city itself is also well worth a visit.

Through meadows and through forests you cycle to St. Florian today, visit the famous monastery and follow the beautiful cycle path to Enns, the oldest city in Austria with its 60 m high city tower. After Enns, continue along the Danube until you reach the wonderful baroque town of Grein.

A beautiful section of the Danube awaits you today. Enjoy your ride along the historical Nibelungengau and take your time for the pilgrimage Maria Taferl. From the Marienheiligtum, which is picturesquely situated on a hill 233 m above the Danube, there is a magnificent view over the Danube valley and the hilly landscape of the Mostviertel up to the Alpine chain, which spreads over a width of more than 300 km in front of the visitor.

The ride through the Wachau offers a true cultural fireworks. Be it a visit to the wine cellars or the unique cultural landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage region. From Tulln you go by train to the center of Vienna (incl.). Take time for the capital of Austria, marvel at St. Stephen's Cathedral and treat yourself to a slice of cake in one of the typical coffee houses.
