Tauern Cycle Path sporty, Krimml – Passau

Take a walk today to see Europe’s highest waterfalls.

Hotel (example): Klockerhaus

Today’s stage takes you through the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Upper Pinzgau region. Stunning views of snow-covered, three-thousand-metre peaks will accompany you the whole way. Your immediate surroundings will alternate between lush green meadows and cute little villages, which offer you a fairytale backdrop. Take the opportunity for a refreshing dip in Lake Zell. Having cycled via the castle village of Maishofen and Maria Alm with its well-known pilgrimage church, you will soon arrive in Saalfelden where you will sleep tonight.

Hotel (example): Ritzenhof

The bike path along the Saalach leads you to the Seisenberg gorge and the Lamprechtshöhle (Europe’s deepest cave) near Weißbach. The well-known chocolate manufacturer “Berger” is located in Lofer. Bad Reichenhall also is not short of sweet treats thanks to its enticing cake shop called “Konditorei Reber”. You are sure to have burnt the extra calories  by the time you arrive in Salzburg. The vast amount of culture there is bound to enchant you. Make sure to leave enough time for a wander around the historic city and to visit Mozart’s birthplace.

Hotel (example): Ganslhof

Today you will meet the Salzach river again. You will follow this out of town until you reach Oberndorf where you can find the “Silent Night Chapel”. The extensive alluvial forests lead you to Tittmoning. From there, you then follow the „Naturerlebnisweg Unterer Inn“ (Lower Inn nature discovery trail) to Burghausen where you will find the largest castle complex within Central Europe. You will leisurely cycle along the Inn cycle path to the gothic town of Braunau or alternatively to Simbach in Bavaria.

Hotel (example): Parkhotel Braunau

In the morning you will see many bird colonies nesting close to the river banks. You continuously follow the German-Austrian border until you get to Obernberg where you will be staying tonight. Check out its well-known marketplace and its baroque architecture. You continue along the Inn river, which the famous Reichersberg abbey lies next to. In Schärding make sure to take a break at the 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.
