The tour
No fewer than 13 lakes await cyclists who tackle the entire route. This means that the tour can easily be turned into a swimming holiday in stages in summer. You can also look forward to picture-book Austrian landscapes that have been attracting holidaymakers for decades. There are also interesting insights into the history of the region: e.g. in the oldest salt mine in the world in Hallstatt or in the Imperial Villa in Bad Ischl, the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Sisi.
