Scenic highlights such as Lake Traunsee, Lake Wolfgangsee and Lake Hallstätter See await you. But Orth Castle on Lake Traunsee, the Weisses Rössl on Lake Wolfgangsee and the salt mine in Hallstatt are also real highlights of this star-shaped cycle tour. From Bad Goisern, you can go on wonderful cycling trips and relax in your beautiful hotel in the evening.

This trip is perfect for:

  • Swimming enthusiasts: clear mountain lakes invite you to take a cool break.
  • Culinary enthusiasts: Austria's regional cuisine also has plenty to offer.
  • Views: Admire snow-covered peaks and green valleys on your journey.

Highlights

Salzkammergut
In addition to the four towns in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut, Bad Goisern, Gosau, Hallstatt and Obertraun, there is also a lot to discover in the neighboring towns and communities. The lakes in the Salzkammergut would form a veritable lake district if they were not separated by mountains such as the Schafberg, the Höllengebirge, the Tote Gebirge and the Osterhorngruppe.

Bad Goisern
Surrounded by mountain panoramas, located directly on the beautiful Lake Hallstatt, Bad Goisern enchants with its charming town center, the houses decorated with flowers, beautiful landscape and many idyllic places.

St. Wolfgang
The operetta "Das Weisses Rössl am Wolfgangsee" has made Lake Wolfgang known far beyond the borders of the country with its feel-good melodies. Anyone who takes a seat in the legendary hotel on the lake shore today to enjoy a melange and an apple strudel actually believes they are on a film set. Everything is as you imagine it. And yet we have long since arrived in the 21st century.

Orth castle
The Seeschloss Orth is not only one of the oldest buildings in the Salzkammergut region, it also has some fascinating stories to tell: such as the legend of the giant Erla, who is said to have built the castle out of love for Blondchen, the Traunsee mermaid.

Hallstatt Salt mine
Embark on a mysterious journey into the treasure trove of humanity on the daily guided tours of the Hallstatt Salt Mine. Take a trip through geological history, imagination, impressive displays and fascinating information, which you will not only learn about during your journey through time, but also experience with all your senses.

Your Hotel:
Goiserer Mühle

Your 4-star feel-good hotel Goiserer Mühle is located in the middle of the spa gardens of Bad Goisern. The family-run hotel impresses with its successful combination of tradition and modernity. The spacious rooms are comfortable and lovingly furnished. The balcony rooms (category A) offer a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains.

Recover from your day of cycling in the wellness area with sauna, steam bath and solarium and then end the day in the hotel restaurant. The chef himself will spoil you with exclusively natural products from the surrounding area. A week of modern, warm and uncomplicated hospitality awaits you.

Tour

Arrive early and stroll through the beautiful, peaceful spa gardens of Bad Goisern.

In the morning, travel by train to Gmunden on Lake Traunsee. Take a walk through the pretty town and visit Orth Castle and the ceramic carillon in the town hall tower. Afterwards you cycle on the cycle path along the lake to Ebensee. Now follow the river Traun to Bad Ischl, where you will be enchanted by the former imperial town with its imperial villa and Sissi's teahouse. Enjoy a Zaunerstollen at the Zauner pastry shop and watch the hustle and bustle in the pedestrian zone. The rest of the way is not long and you will soon reach your hotel again.

In the morning, a transfer will take you to Gosau. Here you have the opportunity to go on a bike tour to the front Gosausee lake. Enjoy the magnificent view. The way back takes you along the Gosau stream to Lake Hallstatt and further along the Traun river back to Bad Goisern.

Set off early, because today offers some activities. First you cycle along the Traun to Bad Ischl and further along the Ischler Ache to the Lake Wolfgangsee. You will cycle to St. Wolfgang and should definitely not only visit the famous White Horse Inn and the Collegiate Church, but also take a ride on the rack railroad up the Schafberg. From here you have a wonderful view of Lake Wolfgangsee. A short ferry ride will take you to the other side of the lake and you will cycle back to the hotel via cycle path along the Nussensee lake.

Today you will visit the world heritage region of Lake Hallstatt. Here you have many possibilities to spend the day: the oldest salt mine in the world, the Dachstein ice caves or a comfortable boat trip are waiting for you. You cycle almost always along the lake shore and many sights are almost directly on the way.

You start by train to Bad Aussee. From here you will take a bike trip to the Grundlsee and the Toplitzsee. The stage also takes you to Lake Altaussee and so there are many swimming opportunities today. At the end of this relaxing day you will return to Bad Goisern by train.

Your wonderful cycling tour ends after breakfast at the hotel. We would be happy to book additional nights for you in Bad Goisern.
