Enjoy the shining world of lakes in the Salzkammergut.
What could be more enjoyable than biking on the shore paths of the lakes and to let the soul "flow" in a wonderfully unspoilt countryside? Some kilometres after Salzburg, the biker is going to be spoilt with a unique landscape. The soft hill landscape of the Salzburger Voralpenland has a charm of its own. You cycle through pastures and moor lands, to the Silent-Night town, Oberndorf and to the old emperor town Bad Ischl. Yes, you cycle through a cliché world that has become true. The 10-Lake-Tour is an active way to relax experiencing nature and visiting places of interest like the Schafberg and the castle Orth.Dates

Route features
On the lake shores and the banks of river Salzach the bicycle routes are flat. In-between the terrain is hilly. Depending on the route you take, one third is on cycle tracks, almost all the rest on meadow and wood paths and country lanes and on side streets with light traffic. Only a few, short sections follow streets with more traffic.Map
