A cycle tour along the Danube through the picturesque vineyards of the Wachau or past imposing mountains in the Salzkammergut is definitely worth the effort! Austria and its culture, landscape and cuisine are internationally known and loved. Which cyclist doesn’t love seeing beautiful buildings and cultural highlights along the route? At every rest stop a delicious delicacy awaits you. From warm apricot dumplings (Marillenknödeln) with lots of bredcrumbs to the three fluffy mountains called Salzburger Nockerln, there’s a lot to choose from.
Every cyclist is well advised to pack clothes for every weather situation. As picturesque as the landscape in the Austrian cities may be, the weather is varied and changeable. Functional clothing and the well-tested ‘onion’ method are certainly appropriate for a cycle tour through Austria.
Despite the occasionally uncertain weather situations, Austria offers unique and beautiful cycle paths, away from traffic. A dip in cool water is usually not far away, cycle paths often travel past rivers and lakes.
