View of Hohensalzburg Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hohensalzburg Fortress is the landmark of the city of Salzburg. It is located on a mountain above the city, the Festungsberg, which continues to the northwest into the Mönchsberg. The foothill in the east of the fortress mountain is called Nonnberg, on which the Benedictine women's monastery Nonnberg is located directly below the eastern exterior of the fortress - the Nonnbergbasteien. The Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of the largest castle complexes in Europe with over 7,000 m² of built-up area.

Suchmannschleuse on the Almkanal

Highlight • Structure

On this route you pass the Suchman lock, where people surf when the weather is good. It's great to watch.

Almkanal

Highlight • River

Absolutely idyllic area with places that invite you to linger. The cycle path is a bit narrow, so drive carefully as there are many families with children.

The cycle path is simply horrible, sometimes on a strip on the main road and sometimes with no strip at all.

Greatly developed stage. Unfortunately, in the middle of it all, a few kilometers directly on the main road. A visit to Hohenwerfen Castle is highly recommended!

First stage from Salzburg via Bischofshofen to St Johann. Always along the Salzach.
Some very nice bike paths, but some sections are also on the main road.
