From your base in Bad Goisern, you will cycle into the heart of the Salzkammergut: lake shores and river paths framed by mountains. You will follow the Traun to Lake Hallstatt for ferry views of the iconic village, ride to the Wolfgangsee via imperial Bad Ischl, and discover the fjord-like Traunsee near Gmunden. A day around emerald Gosausee brings you close to the Dachstein glacier, with Salzburg as a culture-filled interlude before a final ride to Grundlsee.
