Tauern Cycle Path - bike tour

The impressive mountain range of the Hohen Tauern in Austria gave the Tauern cycle path its name. The cycling tour begins at the imposing Krimmler Waterfalls and leads through the flat valley of the Salzach. The cultural highlight of this cycling trip is of course the city Salzburg, but almost all of the places on the Tauern cycle path are enchanting in their own special way. The Tauern cycle path leads you through the countries Austria and Germany.

Individual arrival to Krimml. Admission to the Krimmler Waterfalls is included. If you would like to explore the waterfalls more closely, then a hike is recommended (approx. 2 - 3 hours, additional night recommended).

You travel via Neukirchen through the Habachtal valley, known for its emerald findings, to Bramberg (Museum of local history). It is also worthwhile to visit the museum of local history in Mittersill. You arrive in Piesendorf via Uttendorf (Nationalpark-Info-House) and Niedernsill. Here the Europa-Sport region Kaprun/Zell am See begins, with the glacier ski area at Kitzsteinhorn.

You leave the upper Salzachtal valley and now follow the river course of the Saalach. You travel through the wide valley basin of Saalfelden and the famous pilgrimage place Maria Alm in the direction of Lofer. The Seisenbergklamm (gorge) and the Lamprechtshöhle cave are natural monuments worth seeing on your way to today’s stage destination.

The Saalach River breaks through the „Steinerne Meer“ in an impressive way at Unken. By continuing to follow along the river bank you will reach the „small German corner“, with the health resort Bad Reichenhall and the vast plain of the Salzburg basin. The journey continues through the Saalachauen meadows to the Mozart city Salzburg.

You first cycle to Oberndorf („Silent Night“ Chapel) on the Salzach-Uferweg (riverside path). You carry on to Ettenau and via St. Radegund to Burghausen (longest castle in the world).

From Burghausen you will reach the mouth of the Inn and Salzach rivers. You arrive in the border city Braunau and then arrive in the European reserve Unterer Inn, a bird and nature reserve. The journey continues to the known spa city Bad Füssing. Overnight stay partly also in Obernberg or surroundings.

Passing the Reichersberg Abbey you will reach Schärding. You can choose between spending your last night in Schärding or riding on further to the three-river-city Passau. Please notify us by all means when placing your booking where you would like to stay overnight! Otherwise Schärding will automatically be booked for you!
