Bike tracks in Austria

On its way to the Black Sea, the path leads through Austria past many highlights such as the Schlögener loops, the wild and romantic Wachau, the medieval town Enns or the Stift Melk monastery. Following the traces of the Austrian composer, the Mozart-cycle path takes cyclists through the Salzburger Land. Other tours with pleasure factor are the culinary tour of the vineyards in Styria, the Neusiedler Lake cycle path as well as the cycle paths along the river Drava, the Mühlviertel and the river Inn.

Some of the hotspots are the valleys Paznaun in Tyrol, the Stubaital, Zillertal and the Ötztal valley.
