Weather was great, no rain.
Too many tourists in Hallstadt🤣😂
Route quite hilly.
The return journey by train is very relaxed, as it goes back the same way.

Unless you are happy on a busy main road then stick to the east side of the lake when cycling back from Halstatt.

June 6, 2024,Ö: Bad Ischl - Bad Goisern - an der Traun und um den Hallstädter See

Today's tour started in Bad Ischl. After the cultural part with Sissi Park and Kurpark, we followed the wonderful Traun cycle path to Bad Goisern and further to Hallstädter See. Hallstadt was too crowded for us and we quickly continued to circle the lake. The way back took us along the Traun back to Bad Ischl.

The last lake we wanted to visit today was Lake Hallstatt. We started in Bad Ischl in fantastic weather. Via Goisern we went around the lake to Obertraun, where we made a short stop at the seaside resort. Enjoy the peace and quiet again before heading to the Unesco World Heritage Site in Hallstatt. We were lucky and were able …

Recommendation: If you absolutely want to cycle to Hallstatt, if you're coming from the north, you should cycle around the east side (clockwise) of the lake and then return …
