Tauern Cycle Path – Roundtrip
From/to Salzburg
Mozart and back, please!
Mozart’s home town Salzburg is the beginning and end of your cycle tour on the Tauern Cycle Path. Family-friendly, slightly hilly landscape along the Salzach and Saalach offer all the beauties of the Salzburg region. While the Krimml Waterfalls plunge impressively rapidly into the depths, Lake Zell invites you to cool off in a relaxed manner. The Hohenwerfen Fortress towers mightily high above the Tauern Cycle Path, while the Hohensalzburg Fortress promises a fantastic view over the city.
