10-lakes Round trip | Sportive

And the sound of music

Enjoy the shining lake district of the Salzkammergut

What is lovelier than being out and about, cycling along the banks of lakes, and just letting your spirit soar in a marvellous natural landscape? The cycle tour through the Salzkammergut and the Trumer Seen lake area is wonderfully suited for this. Only a few kilometres beyond Salzburg, you will be greeted by the luxury of a unique natural panorama. The gentle, hilly landscape of Salzburg’s alpine foothills has a charm all of its own. You will cycle through meadows and moorlands to Oberndorf – the place associated with the Christmas carol "Silent Night" - and also to the old imperial town of Bad Ischl. In a way, you will be travelling through a whole world of clichés transformed into realities. The ten lakes round tour is active recreation, experiencing nature and enjoying many attractions, such as the Schafberg mountain and the Orth castle.

Tourenverlauf

Information on the tour and bike fitting.

Today, you will cycle along the Salzach to Oberndorf (birthplace of the Christmas carol "Silent Night") and then to Lake Holzöster. 

Over gentle hills to Michaelbeuern (Abbey) and further into the Trumer Seenland. Then the tour will lead you along the banks of Lake Obertrum to Seekirchen. Cycle easily over deep-green meadows to Thalgau and further on to Lake Mondsee.

Gorgeous cycle paths lead you along Lake Mondsee and Lake Attersee Afterwards, you will cycle through the Aurachtal valley to Lake Traunsee with Gmunden (castle Orth, ceramics factory), Altmünster (bicycle museum), and Traunkirchen ("Fishermen’s Pulpit").

Cycle along the river Traun via Bad Ischl to Lake Hallstätter See. Later, you will continue along the lake to Hallstatt ("the loveliest lakeside location in the world", the oldest salt mine). Again you will pass Bad Ischl (Emperor’s Park, Emperor’s Villa, Empress Sissi’s Teahouse) on your way to Lake Wolfgangsee: You will cycle through places such as St. Wolfgang (White Horse Inn, parish church, cog railway on to the Schafberg), Strobl, Lake Abersee (Zinkenbachklamm gorge) and St. Gilgen - the Mozart village on Lake Wolfgangsee.

On the seventh day, you will follow the cycle route to St. Gilgen ("Mozart Village"),  and on to the deep blue Fuschlsee and Tiefbrunnau. From there past the Hintersee lake, and the Strubklamm gorge into the Wiestal valley (dam). From Hallein on the Tauern cycle path to Salzburg. Shortly before reaching Salzburg, it is worth visiting the castle Schloss Hellbrunn (park, zoo, water games). Your destination is the festival and Mozart city of Salzburg with its numerous attractions (fortress, old town).

Individual return journey or extension.

Tour character

On the banks of the lakes and at the river Salzach, the routes are completely flat. In between, the terrain is mainly hilly. Depending on the option chosen, approximately one third of the route is on cycle paths and almost all the rest is through fields and on forest paths, farm roads, and quiet side roads. There are only a few short sections on roads with more traffic.
