Self-guided Cycling Tour around Salzkammergut Lakes

Famous lakes staying in one hotel

The most famous lakes of the Salzkammergut invite you for a swim, to go on a boat ride, or to cycle along the lakeshore. Living traditions will take you back in time to Empress Sissi’s times or even further into the Hallstatt period. Tempting cakes and pastries will lure you into stylish pastry shops to make sure you get to know the culinary side of this famous region of Austria. At the end of this journey you will agree with our Emperor Franz Josef - "It was very nice, it was a pleasure"!

Tour character: Level 2

Fair weather cyclist: The daily stages are mostly easy to ride and you will also be able to cycle up some smaller climbs and one longer ascent without any difficulties. You will find yourself partly on bike paths and on side roads with little traffic. Only a few kilometres have to be cycled on roads with more traffic.

Accommodation:

Your comfortable hotel is located in the peaceful spa gardens of Bad Goisern, directly on the pretty river Mühlbach. The special charm of this family-run hotel with an award-winning gourmet cuisine lies in the unique combination of tradition and modernity. The spacious rooms are furnished in a lovely way and equipped with every comfort. The balconies offer views of the surrounding mountains. You will also feel good in the small but nice spa - sauna, steam bath, and solarium provide relaxation after a day of cycling. The chef will personally take care of your culinary well-being! The dishes are made exclusively from natural products from farmers and producers in the immediate area.
