Get to know Austria

Situated in the heart of Europe, Austria is full of impressive mountain peaks and idyllic lakes. Cycle tourists value the alpine republic for the beautiful scenery, challenging routes and the people’s special hospitality. But also the cities offer a lot: Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck all make a good starting point for enjoyable bike trips. Cultural and natural highlights can be discovered everywhere, when ascending a summit or when relaxedly cycling along a river, such as the beautiful Danube meandering through the legendary wine region Wachau. Aside from the hustle and bustle, Wiener Schnitzel, Apfelstrudel and a great cycling infrastructure await.
