Day 1: Salzburg
Individual arrival in the Mozart town and overnight.
Day 2: Salzburg - Chiemsee/Traunstein (approx. 64 km/40 miles)
Our first stage starts on the Tauern bike path along the river Salzch to Oberndorf (Silent Night Chapel). After crossing the Salzach, we pass the famous Bavarian town of Laufen on the opposite bank. Then we arrive at the warmest lake in Upper Bavaria, the Waginger See. Via Nussdorf, we reach our destination of the day, the Chiemsee (lake). Overnight in the surroundings of Chieming or Traunstein.
Day 3: Chiemsee/Traunstein - Wasserburg (approx. 65 km/41 miles)
We cycle from Chieming via Seerbruck to the monastery of Seeon, which Mozart visited several times. He also made severl compositions there. From Seeon, we come back to the Chiemsee and go on to Breitbrunn and via Amerang to Wasserburg, where the famous artist liked to rest while on a journey.
Day 4: Wasserburg - Kufstein (approx. 67 km/42 miles)
We should not leave without a stroll through the enchanting old town, which is completely surrounded by the Inn river. The Inn will accompany uss all day, which means that we do not have to exert ourselves. Via Rosenheim, we reach Kufstein, the "Pearl of Tyrol".
Day 5: Kufstein - Kirchdorf/St. Johann (approx. 45 km/28 miles)
This morning the Inn accompanies us once more for the first kms till Ebbs, where we ride into the little bit hilly "Kaiserwinkl" of Tyrol. We pass the village of Walchsee and cycle via Waidach and Kössen, through the imposing mountain landscape of Tyrol to Kirchdorf or St. Johann.
Day 6: Kirchdorf/St. Johann - Bad Reichenhall/Bayerisch Gmain (approx. 48 km/30 miles)
Today we cycle to Waibring and Lofer, two villages where Mozart stopped on his journeys to the South. From Lofer, we ride along the river Saalach on a wildly romantic trail via Unken and Schneizlreuth, to Bad Reichenhall. Mozart made a trip to this well-known spa during his last stay in Salzburg in 1780. Overnight in Bad Reichenhall or Bayerisch Gmain.
Day 7: Bad Reichenhall/Bayerisch Gmain - Berchtesgaden (approx. 23 km/14 miles)
This day's stage is very short because we sould have the opportunity to spend enough time in the world-famous spa Berchtesgaden, overtopped by the "Watzmann" (mountain). We can relax in the thermal bath. Those who want to cycle more in this impressive landscape will be expected by the lake Königsee with its fascinating wings. The steep rocks surrounding the lake will impress us.
Day 8: Berchtesgaden - Salzburg (approx. 28 km/17 miles)
Soon we will arrive at out final point of the tour, Salzburg. Therefore we have enough time to make an enlarged individual sightseeing tour in the Mozart town. We should see Mozart's birthplace, the re-opened place of his residence, the fortress, Hellbrunn palace, Mirabell palace, and so on. You will get your luggage at 6 p.m. at the latest. Individual departure or additional nights. We recommend to book additional nights in Salzburg for trips to the imposing "Salzburger Flachgau" and to St. Gilgen, the Mozart town on the Wolfgangsee (Mozart's mother was born there, Mozart memorial site, Mozart fountain).
