Mondsee, Attersee, Traunsee, Wolfgangsee, Wallersee, the Trumer lakes... these are just some of the famous lakes in Salzkammergut. Here The Sound of Music was filmed, Silent Night was composed and Mozart vacationed. It's easy to burst into song yourself when you encounter such an intimately beautiful area with both natural beauty and rich culture. Each lake has its own story: from Empress Sisi to the Trapp family, you cycle through the stories that shaped Austria.
Crystal-clear water framed by green mountains, golden beaches where you can take a dip and villages where the fairy-tale feeling is tangible. This cycling trip through Salzburgerland and Upper Austria is a delightful experience – both for leg muscles and mind.

Level & standard
Moderately challenging for you who are an experienced cyclist. Along the lakes and the Salzach river the routes are flat, but between them hilly terrain awaits. About one third goes on cycle paths, the rest on smaller country roads, gravel roads and forest trails. Some shorter sections have more traffic.
You can choose between two accommodation standards:
In Comfort you stay at modern boutique or design hotels, in many cases with spa and wellness facilities, stylish interior, garden or quiet outdoor areas, higher service level and often central but still with a feeling of exclusivity.
In Standard you get comfortable accommodation with all necessary amenities — clean, spacious rooms, breakfast buffet, WiFi — but often without the extra luxury facilities. It's practical, pleasant and functional for travelers who prioritize the experience outside rather than sophisticated hotel surroundings.
