Crossing the Alps to the Adria­tic in a week sounds like hard work! It is not quite as stre­nuous if you choo­se the Alpe-Adria cycle path. Here, the crossing of the Alps is also fea­si­ble for lei­su­re cyclists, as the ascent to the main Alpi­ne ridge is divi­ded into two dai­ly stages, the last part of which is crossed by train. On your jour­ney you will pass the idyl­lic Salz­ach Val­ley, Bad Gas­tein, the impres­si­ve high moun­tain land­scape of the Hohe Tau­ern, the sun­ny Drau Val­ley and the wild­ly rug­ged Kanal­tal. Cycle com­for­ta­b­ly along the Via Julia Augus­ta via Pal­ma­no­va and Aqui­leia to the Gra­do lagoon.

Indi­vi­du­al arri­val at the start­ing hotel in Salz­burg. A cycle tour could not start more impres­si­ve­ly than in the Mozart city of Salz­burg. One baro­que high­light fol­lows the next in the beau­tiful old town. Take a few Mozart­ku­geln with you on your jour­ney to the sea.

On the way, you pass the for­mer sum­mer resi­dence of the Salz­burg prin­ce-bishops, Hell­brunn Palace. The extra­or­di­na­ry trick foun­ta­ins have been delight­ing young and old for more than 400 years. The jour­ney con­ti­nues along the Tau­ern Cycle Path towards Hal­lein, known for its croo­ked town hou­ses and abo­ve all for its white gold — salt. Ano­ther high­light is the water­fall in Golling. 
Day 3

Distanz: 55 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m

Framed by the peaks of the Hohe Tau­ern, you cycle along the Gas­tei­ner Ache. Pas­sing Dorf­gas­tein and Bad Hof­gas­tein, you reach the famous spa town of Bad Gas­tein. The Mon­te­car­lo of the Alps, as the town is often cal­led, is known for its many magni­fi­cent hotels from the Bel Epou­que peri­od, which cha­rac­te­ri­ze the town­s­cape.

Aus­tri­ans, Slove­nes, Friu­li­ans and Ita­li­ans have lived tog­e­ther here for cen­tu­ries, as all three major Euro­pean lan­guage fami­lies — Ger­ma­nic, Roma­nic and Sla­vic — meet here. Con­ti­nuing through the Kanal­tal val­ley, you can admi­re the beau­ty of the Friu­li­an Alpi­ne regi­on from the sadd­le, with its unspoi­led natu­re and exten­si­ve forests.
