tour
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. With the Linz Card, you can easily go on a discovery tour, as numerous attractions are freely accessible to you.
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.
Today your bike tour from Salzburg to Vienna ends after breakfast. The return journey by train to Salzburg is included (without bike). On request, we book extra nights, so you can explore the city.
