Tauern Cycle Path, Krimml – Passau

From Krimml via Salzburg to Passau.

The Tauern Cycle Path is one of the most popular cycle tours in Austria – and there’s good reason. There are so many great things about the 315km-long cycle path. There is the consistent and very detailed signage that will guide you from Krimml to Passau. The first-class path quality without noticeable hills also makes the Tauern Cycle Path so popular. Last but not least, the supporting actors that crown the cycling holiday. Nature, culture and cuisine offer exciting hours off the cycle paths.

Details about cycling holidays on the Tauern Cycle Path

There are 750 vertical metres between Krimml and Passau – but gently down! The slight downhill always gives a bit of a tailwind and makes the cycle path easy to ride. After the daily stages there is still enough time for sightseeing and discovery tours along the way. Ten days of pure cycling enjoyment without luggage – that’s the service from Eurobike!

The highlights of the Tauern Cycle Path at a glance:

  • A cycle path for the whole family: In the gentle valleys of the Salzach, the Saalach and the Inn it is mostly downhill and on well-signposted cycle paths. Therefore, this cycling holiday is also suitable for beginners and families with children.
  • Natural spectacles: Whether it’s the Krimml waterfalls, the mighty three-thousand metre peaks in the background or the Seisenberg gorge – nature shows off along the Tauern Cycle Path!
  • Small cities and great history: Salzburg, the city of Mozart, Burghausen with the longest castle in Europe and the three-river city of Passau offer culture and culinary delights for every taste.

Useful information about cycling holidays for the whole family

You start at the official start of the Tauern Cycle Path and your own journey to Krimml. A visit to the Krimml waterfalls, the largest in Europe, should definitely be on your excursion list! For the next nine days you head northeast, pedal by pedal. You cover between 40 and 60 kilometres a day until you finally reach your destination, the charming border town of Passau.

Tip: This cycle tour from Eurobike can also be booked as a ‘cycling with charm’ variant. The hotels are selected with special care and impress with a top location and a certain flair.

In Krimml, you will find Europe's largest waterfall. Thanks to a well-designed path you can admire this natural spectacle from lots of viewpoints.

Hotel (example) category A: Hotel Krimml

Hotel (example) category B: Klockerhaus

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.

Hotel (example) category A: Bäurup
Hotel (example) category B: Flatscher

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.

Hotel (example) category A: Zum Hirschen

Hotel (example) category B: Martini

The glacier of the Kitzsteinhorn is reflected in the Zeller See. But the crystal-clear water also invites you to swim. Austria's highest mountain, the Großglockner is also not far and can be reached by public transport. Or you can take the cable car to the Schmittenhöhe and enjoy the view far into the valley.

Hotel (example) category A: Zum Hirschen

Hotel (example) category B: Martini

You cycle along the tranquil Saalach valley to “Maria Alm” where there is a famous pilgrimage church. Soon after that you will reach Saalfelden, which is a perfect place lunch. Further attractions on your way to Lofer are the Seisenbergklamm gorge and Lamprechtshöhe near Weißbach.

Hotel (example) category A and category B: Bad Hochmoos

On today’s bike ride, you will be cycling along the tranquil Saalach valley. Bad Reichenhall tucked away in a little corner of Germany is bound to enchant you. Just a little bit further left to go before you will arrive in Salzburg, the city of Mozart. The vast amount of culture there will enthral you for sure. Make sure to leave enough time for a wander around the historic city and to visit Mozart’s birthplace.

Hotel (example) category A: Arcotel Catellani
Hotel (example) category : Ganslhof

In Oberndorf you can visit the „Silent Night Chapel". Obendorf’s extensive alluvial forests will then lead you to Tittmoning. From there you then follow the „Naturerlebnisweg Unterer Inn“ (Lower Inn nature discovery trail) to Burghausen. A magnificent old town and the largest castle complex in Central Europe are the two most noteworthy features of the town.

Hotel (example) category A: Glöcklhofer
Hotel (example) category: Bayerischer Hof

The route leads you along the river Inn up to Braunau. This gothic town is a perfect place for a lunch break. On your way you see numerous bird colonies. You can then continue on either the Bavarian or Austrian side - the choice is yours! Today´s destination Obernberg has a well-known market square with many baroque buildings.

Hotel (example) category A and category B: Gashof Post

You continue along the Inn river, which the famous Reichersberg abbey lies next to. In Schärding make sure to take a break at baroque market square before reaching Passau, today’s destination. In Passau a three rivers cruise would most certainly be a fitting end to your cycle tour.
