Innsbruck-Salzburg bike tour
-
Austria-Innsbruck to Salzburg self guided bike tour
Tyrol, Berchtesgaden and Salzburg: When the white snow splendor disappears in the spring, the beautiful landscape of this region with its green pastures and lush green meadows and all the flowers come out. The rivers and lakes with an outstanding scenery in the background, as well as the picturesque villages make this bike tour unique. It’s almost all flat or slightly downhill along the Inn river. From the 4th day you have to reckon with some rises, but there are also lovely downhill passages. You cycle predominately on bike paths and side roads which are mostly paved with some short sections on moderately busy roads.
