Starting Salzburg, the storybook Old Town burrowed below steep hills looks much as it did when Mozart lived here 250 years ago. Standing beside the fast-flowing Salzach River, take the time to take in the graceful domes and spires, the formidable clifftop fortress and the mountains beyond.

Salzburg and its surrounding is not only known for Mozart and the Sound of Music, but it has a burgeoning art scene, wonderful food, manicured parks and quiet side streets where classical music wafts through the air. Follow a series of well-marked bike trails which criss-cross the country.

Then continue cycling onto the famous Danube Bike Trail along the river for the remainder of the journey. The Danube valley with its natural and cultural highlights takes you on your way to Vienna. In the end, the Danube-metropolis Vienna with numerous sights forms the final highlight. This is a fairly easy bike ride, with little elevation to tackle!
