Embark on a touring bicycle adventure along the Tauern cycle path from Krimml to Bruck, a moderate 39.1-mile (62.9 km) journey with about 1000 feet (305 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in 3 hours and 35 minutes. This route offers a generally gentle downhill gradient, making it ideal for a relaxed ride. You will start at the impressive Krimml Waterfalls, the highest in Central Europe, and follow the Salzach River through the picturesque Pinzgauer Saalachtal valley, enjoying continuous views of the Hohe Tauern mountains.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the path is well-maintained, clearly signposted, and primarily runs on dedicated cycle paths or low-traffic roads. While mostly downhill, expect some minor, intermediate climbs along the way. This section is highly suitable for families and cyclists of all skill levels, with over 90% of the route on paved surfaces. For added flexibility, you can use the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn to shorten stages or return to your starting point.
As you cycle, you will traverse the fringes of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the largest national park in the Alpine region, offering diverse natural beauty and views of numerous 3000-meter peaks and glaciers. Beyond the natural wonders, the trail is dotted with historical castles, picturesque lakes, and charming towns, providing plenty of opportunities for stops and exploration. This route offers an exceptional touring cycling experience with stunning Alpine scenery and excellent infrastructure.
