1 The well-known Donauradweg<br />
opens up unforgettable vistas, here<br />
on the Schlögener Schlinge<br />

3 Less peaceful and more of an<br />
adrenalin rush is a descent on a<br />
mountain bike<br />

The Tauern cycle path through Hohe<br />
Tauern National Park certainly runs past<br />
quite a few three-thousand-metre-peaks,<br />
but only rises about 200 m. One of the<br />
highlights of the tour is the Krimmler<br />
Waterfalls – the highest in Europe. The<br />
many delights of the landscape in<br />
Salzburgerland can also be discovered<br />
very effectively on a wide variety of day<br />
tours. If you are looking for a real<br />
challenge, try the numerous mountain<br />
bike routes in Austria: The “Kärnten-<br />
Seen-Biking” network has twelve stages<br />
through the most beautiful mountain<br />
regions in Carinthia, each one ending by<br />
a lake. Tirol’s mountains meanwhile offer<br />

Pedal hard, then stop and stare<br />
* TWO RIVERS, A THOUSAND<br />
IMPRESSIONS. The Ennsradweg cycle<br />
path goes past National Parks, impressive<br />
mountains, romantic ravines and enchanting<br />
towns. The Innradweg also provides charming<br />
contrasts: wild mountain ranges and<br />
gently rolling hills, romantic fortresses and<br />
picturesque towns. www.radurlaub.com<br />
* MOZARTRADWEG. Starting from<br />
Mozart’s birthplace, Salzburg, this 450 km<br />
long cycle path leads past various sites<br />
associated with the life of the genius.<br />

* BODENSEE-RADWANDERWEG. A<br />
delightful trail that crosses frontiers, and<br />
links well with individual steamer passages.<br />
An important tip: Don’t forget your passport.<br />

* CYCLE WITHOUT BAGGAGE. Away with<br />
heavy panniers on your bicycle – you only<br />
need them when you reach your destination<br />
for the day. The finest cycle tours in Austria<br />
already provide their own luggage transfer.<br />

* AN OVERVIEW OF ALL TOURS. You will<br />
find more cycle tours at www.austria.<br />
info/radfahren or www.radfahren.at<br />
They include special offers like cycling with<br />
professionals (the Tirol, Carinthia), or “Von<br />
Klosterpforte zu Klosterpforte”, travelling<br />
“from monastery to monastery”.<br />
mountain bike routes totalling over<br />
5,000 km. Two new freeriding trails have<br />
just been opened In the Tiroler Zugspitz<br />
arena, and in Sölden there is a new bike<br />
arena. Less demanding by far are cycle<br />
paths along rivers. On the Donauradweg<br />
you cycle along the Danube, through the<br />
romantic Wachau, where vineyards reach<br />
almost to the river bank. And the 365 km<br />
long Mur-Randwanderweg follows the<br />
River Mur from its origins in the Hohe<br />
Tauern down to Bad Radkersburg in<br />
the south of Styria. •<br />
