Arrival in Salzburg
Arrive in the culturally rich city. Take plenty of time to stroll through the old town and visit Mozart's birthplace. Your bicycles will be ready at the accommodation you have booked.
You follow the course of the river Salzach and soon reach Hallein. The salt mine, which has been closed since 1989, can be viewed in the show mine. For sports enthusiasts, a detour to the romantic Bluntau Valley is worthwhile. In your stage destination Golling, you should allow enough time to visit the waterfall, which is definitely worth the effort.
On today's stage, you will first cycle to Werfen, where Hohenwerfen Castle towers high above the Salzach. The famous Eisriesenwelt is also worth a visit. In Bischofshofen you can admire the ski jump on which the final of the four-hill tournament is held every year. In St. Johann is the famous Liechtenstein Gorge, a huge natural spectacle with a 50 metre high waterfall at the end of the gorge.
You can quickly reach Bruck an der Glocknerstrasse by bike. The High Alpine Road to the 3,798 m high Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain, can also be 'climbed' by bus from June to September to the Franz-Josefs-Höhe. For the sporty cyclist, there is also a tour around the Zeller See, the quiet cyclists can use this time for a refreshing swim. Only a short distance and you are in Kaprun, today's stage destination. There you have excellent bus connections to the high mountain reservoirs.
After breakfast, take the local Pinzgauer Bahn to Krimml. There you should visit the largest waterfalls in Europe. You can admire this natural spectacle via a well-maintained path. By bike, you cycle back through the Hohe Tauern National Park and the so-called Oberpinzgau. You will enjoy the snow-capped peaks at three thousand meters high along the way.
NB! Please note: Travel by bus to Krimml (train replacement service or shuttle) if repair work on the Pinzgaubahn has not yet been completed on the planned travel date.
Kaprun - Lofer
ca. 55 kmYou will soon be back at Lake Zell, where you can take a relaxing bath. Via Maria Alm with the famous pilgrimage church, you reach Saalfelden, where you can enjoy your lunch break. Other highlights on the way to Lofer are the Seisenbergklamm and the Lamprechtshöhe near Weißbach.
On your last leg back to Salzburg, you will cycle in the peaceful Saalachtal. The Bavarian town of Bad Reichenhall in the small German corner will enchant you with its southern German flair. Only a short distance and you are back at the starting point of the cycling tour in Salzburg. Let yourself be pampered in the evening with culinary delights and enjoy the many impressions and experiences of your cycling tour.

Route information
The Tauern cycle route (Tauernradweg) is signposted everywhere and in great detail. The route mainly runs on quiet, paved bike paths and country roads, but sometimes also on busier parts, mostly paved bike paths. In general, the quality of the cycle paths can be described as very good. In some cases, you have to take into account slight slopes, so some basic condition is recommended for this variant or opt for the convenience of an E-bike.
