Tauern round tour

Naturally beautiful and exciting.

This bike tour begins in Salzburg cycling along the river Salzach.  

In Hallein you can follow the traces of the "White Gold" to the salt mine in Bad Dürnberg. Climb down into the world's oldest exhibition mine and gain an insight into the tiring underground life. 

In Golling you should visit the impressive waterfall, which is situated close to St. Nikolaus' pilgrimage church that is built in late gothic style. We also recommend a detour into the romantic Bluntau valley. 

This cycle tour also has a lot of cultural attractions on offer. Visit the over 900-year-old Hohenwerden castle, which sits enthroned on a steep rock above the Salzach valley. 

Those who like the cold should make sure to visit the "Eisriesenwelt", the world's largest ice caves. 

Impressive waterfalls and mystical castles

The tour continues by bike via Bischofshofen where there is a famous ski jump. 

The next stage takes you to Kaprun and from there you will find good bus connections to the high-mountain reservoirs. Enjoy a tour of the impressive dam wall,  the 'experience' exhibition where you can learn about the ice and the glaciers or simply the breathtaking scenery at an altitude of 2,000m above sea level. If that doesn't take your fancy, you could visit the Krimmler waterfalls - with a drop of 380m they are the 5th tallest waterfalls worldwide. 

Your bike tour continues through the Hohe Tauern national park and the so-called Oberpinzgau region. Highlights along the way to Lofer are the Seisenbergklamm gorge and the Lamprechtshöhle caves near Weißbach. 

The last stage on this tour leads you back to Salzburg. You get there by cycling through the tranquil Saalach valley. Once you arrive in Bad Reichenhall you haven't got much further to go until you arrive back in Salzburg, the City of Mozart.

Tour character

The Tauern bike path runs from start to finish with no breaks in it. The route is also fully signposted. The route runs through quiet areas on paved paths and country roads. At times you will have to cycle along busier routes. There are a few short sections of the route where the cycling surface is bumpy. Overall the quality of the cycle route can be described as very good. There are some hills in this variant and therefore you need to be in good shape.
