After a few metres on the road, you change to the cycle path and cycle through forests and along the Weißenbach stream through the countryside to the southern end of Lake Attersee. From here you first cycle along the Attersee and then change to the Mondsee. Now you cycle, mostly along the lake, to the village of Mondsee with its famous basilica, and then to your hotel. Overnight stay in Mondsee **Day 3:** **Mondsee – Attergau – Attersee – Gmunden - Ebensee** **approx. 50 km, altitude difference: ascent 710/descent 830 m** Today your route takes you between the three largest lakes in the Salzkammergut. After your start in Mondsee, the first uphill section takes you across fields to the wooded hills of the Attergau. The route winds along narrow roads, partly on tarmac and partly on gravel roads to Straß im Attergau. Continuing towards the lake, you reach the northern end of Lake Attersee in Seewalchen. Continue along small roads, alternating between settlements and fields, until you finally reach the ceramics town of Gmunden. Round off the day in comfort with a boat trip from Gmunden to Ebensee. Overnight stay in Ebensee. **Alternative route: Mondsee – along the Attersees – Gmunden – Ebensee** **approx. 62km, altitude difference: ascent 450/descent 570m** You start this tour along the northern shore of Lake Mondsee and then cross over to Lake Attersee at Unterach. Always close to the shore, the route continues to Seewalchen and from there to Gmunden. Once there, take the boat to Ebensee. The alternative route runs more along main roads but offers a variety of wonderful views of the lakes. **Day 4:** **Ebensee – Bad Ischl – St. Wolfgang - Strobl** **approx. 43 km, altitude difference: ascent 300/descent 160 m** You leave the saltworks town of Ebensee, located at the southern end of Lake Traunsee, and follow the route of the brine pipeline. This pipeline, the oldest in operation in the world, transports the brine from the mines for further processing in Ebensee. Continuing up the Traun, you reach the imperial town of Bad Ischl, where you turn west and cycle through small villages towards Lake Wolfgangsee to St. Wolfgang with its famous Weisse Rössl hotel. After exploring the town, you cross the lake on the cycle ferry and follow the former route of the Salzkammergut local railway through the Blinklingmoos to Strobl. Overnight stay in Strobl **Day 5: Strobl – Bad Ischl – Bad Goisern – eastern shore cycle path – Obertraun – Hallstatt and back to Bad Ischl** **Approx. 59 km, altitude difference: ascent 490/descent 570m** From Strobl, follow the course of the river Ischl back to the imperial town of Bad Ischl. Here you now turn even deeper into the Salzkammergut. Passing Ischl's local mountain, the Katrin, you first come to the pilgrimage town of Lauffen and then on to Bad Goisern, famous for its craftsmen. A little further on you reach Lake Hallstatt, on the eastern shore of which you cycle towards Obertraun with wonderful views, partly over suspension bridges over the water, which cling to the steep rock faces. Another loop around the southern end of the lake and you reach the UNESCO World Heritage town of Hallstatt. After you have explored the town, take the ferry back to the eastern shore of the lake and cycle back to Bad Ischl, where you can review your tour once again.
