From the Krimml Waterfalls you go down to the Salzach River. From the bike path you marvel at the snow-covered mountains. The valley gets wider and wider and so you roll comfortably over green meadows to Mittersill. Since you are in the middle of the national park, you can also visit the museum Nationalparkwelten here.

From Oberpinzgau we continue towards Mittelpinzgau. The area here knows how to convince with particularly lush flora and fauna. Authentic cuisine and unspoiled customs make this region particularly endearing. Once in Kaprun, a visit to the high mountain reservoirs is a special experience.

The glacier of the Kitzsteinhorn is reflected in the Zeller See. But the crystal-clear water also invites you to swim.
