The beautiful city of Salzburg, on the Salzach River, is a wonderful place
to begin a scenic cycling route. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the city’s
most famous son and musical genius is hard to ignore as many attractions are centred round his life and works.
This however is only one of the charms of this historic city, the Hohensalzburg Fortress stands guard on the hill
overlooking the city and surrounding countryside, Castle Mirabel with glorious gardens, the early Baroque
Salzberger Dome, the Abbey and Monastery should all be seen. The old city streets, shops, museums, cafes,
restaurants and friendly atmosphere make it a charming place to be.
Your Itinerary

and leave as a friend’, which should give you some idea of
the welcome you will receive. This is a larger complex of 4
hotel buildings set in fantastic scenery where all rooms

swimming pool, sauna, solarium and whirlpool, and offers
massage, and reflexology. If your cycling muscles are
