Austria

The fortified town of Kufstein and its eight surrounding picturesque villages are located in the Austrian state of Tyrol. There, right on the border with the German state of Bavaria, road bikers will find a true cycling paradise.

A cross-border cycling paradise with an extraordinary panorama: the Tannheimer Tal is not called “the most beautiful high valley in Europe” for nothing. The region, nestled between idyllic alpine meadows and steep mountain peaks, encourages cyclists to tough training sessions with magnificent views and diverse courses. In the Tannheimer Tal, people have always wanted to aim high and not just with the legendary bike marathon.

With speed and adrenaline, it’s on the endless and low-traffic roads through beautiful Südsteiermark. The climbing and descending between vineyards, meadows and forest trails is as diverse as the culinary offerings. It quickly becomes clear: Südsteiermark is a secret tip for cyclists and gravel bikers. Small, fine and yet diverse and absolutely worth spending a week cycling there.

Everyone who goes on cycling vacations knows the blissful feeling of cycling in nature with water all around you. Sweating in the saddle with a view of the lake and the pleasant thought of cooling off in the water after your workout. All the cycling tours through the Salzkammergut region are definitely fantastic, but the special attraction of the cycling region lies in the blue of the water.
