Ten Lakes and The Sound of Music over 7-days

Culture, history and unique landscapes between lakes and mountains – the Salzkammergut is a region in Austria that should not be missed. The area, rich in lakes, can be explored wonderfully by bike, as you can enjoy the magnificent panoramas to the full, get from lake to lake in no time and see many attractions along the route.

Highlights:

• The Getreidegasse in Salzburg is the heart of the city. Here you can stroll through national and international shops and enjoy traditional cuisine in the inns. There is of course pure culture around the birthplace of the musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
• The turquoise green Attersee: Admittedly, we cannot deliver the Caribbean to you on this this tour. But the Attersee comes pretty close in some parts. At Nussdorf, for example, you can explore an underwater world of the lake with plexiglass kayaks.
• The World Heritage Site of Hallstatt has been copied by Chinese architects, but of course it doesn’t stand up to the original. The unique location on the lake of the same name makes the village a very special destination, the picturesque panoramas do the rest.
• The panorama from Schafberg am Wolfgangsee: Those who take the path to the Schafberg (whether on foot or the famous railway) and are lucky enough to have a clear sky can enjoy a special 360-degree panorama. Review your tour from a lofty height with a view of the lakes of the Salzkammergut and Alpine foothills.
