"In no other invention is the useful and the pleasant so intimately connected as in the case of the bicycle."
Adam Opel, German entrepreneur, founder of the Opel company, 1837 - 1895
The Salzkammergut is one of the most attractive mountain bike regions in Austria. Water and salt as natural resources characterise the Salzkammergut and its cultural heritage. Formed by once large glaciers and the resulting more than 70 lakes, the river system of the Traun and striking mountain ranges, it is a paradise for ambitious cyclists. With the biker stronghold of Bad Goisern as a starting point, both challenging trails and dreamy alpine pastures are easily accessible. The unique and varied natural landscape of the Salzkammergut, bordered by the huge Dachstein massif in the south, is one of three Austrian provinces that are also part of this trip. Crisp climbs are sweetened while biking with a rest on beautifully situated alpine
pastures and homemade "delicacies" there. The majority is covered on forest roads, but challenging trails also have to be mastered.
Look forward to a fantastic cycling area in the heart of Austria, which also includes visits to internationally famous places such as Hallstatt or Lake Wolfgang, as well as a spectacular potpourri of lakes, alpine pastures and mountains.
Itinerary:
Day 1: Individual arrival in the biker stronghold of Bad Goisern
The pretty spa town with its outstanding geographical location on Lake Hallstatt attracts sports and mountain enthusiasts in summer and winter. Depending on the time of arrival, it is worth taking a leisurely excursion along the Traun along the Traunreiterweg to the district of Weißenbach to 'warm up'. From the Goiserer Bridge you are accompanied by the tireless murmur of the Traun to the Weißenbach Bridge. At the hotel in Bad Goisern you will receive your travel documents.
