Details about the Ten Lakes & Sound of Music sporty tour

It starts in Salzburg! The fourth largest city in Austria hosts the world-famous festival, which has a year-round influence on the city’s cultural diversity. Incidentally, the baroque old town is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

The first stage of the tour is already sensational! Over the tranquil Holzöstersee you go to the Trumer Lake District including Obertrumer See, Mattsee and Grabensee. Mondsee, Attersee and/or Traunsee? You will be spoiled for choice as to where you want to cool off. The charming towns on the tour include Gmunden, Hallstatt, Bad Ischl and St. Wolfgang. Soak up the nature along the route when you cycle past the Zinkenbachklamm, the Aurach Valley or the lakesides.

Highlights of the 7-day Ten Lakes & Sound of Music sporty tour

  • The Getreidegasse in Salzburg is not only the birthplace of one of the most famous Austrians – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is also a wonderful place to marvel, stroll and people watch. The artistic guild shop signs whisk you away into the history of the place, its shops and craftsmen. The pretty inner courtyards and through houses show the special architecture of this place, where traditional shops alternate with international boutiques.
  • The turquoise green Attersee is the largest lake in the Austrian Alps and is often referred to as the ‘Caribbean of the Salzkammergut’. Whether it’s a swim in the waves, a dive or a boat trip, pure relaxation awaits!
  • The Hallstatt World Heritage Site: Small but mighty! With 746 inhabitants, Hallstatt is small, but the village has a lot to offer. A beautiful lake, picturesque town centre, historic ossuary and impressive ‘Skywalk’ are just a few examples.
  • The panorama from the Schafberg on Lake Wolfgang is probably one of the best in the entire Salzkammergut.You can also taste a culinary delicacy in the ‘Himmelspforte’. That’s the refuge on the summit of the mountain.

Es war eine sehr schöne Tour. Hotel Traunsee top. Pension und Gasthof sauber aber veraltet. tour Attersee-Traunsee war nicht ganz so gut ausgeschildert und man bekommt nur einmal die Möglichkeit was zu trinken zu kaufen.
