Salzburg to Linz
Get ready for an unforgettable ride as you cycle from Salzburg to Linz! Starting in the heart of Mozart’s birthplace, you’ll roll out with the dramatic Alps as your backdrop, winding through quiet country roads (over half the route is peaceful tarmac!) and scenic paths hugging the Salzach and Danube rivers.
The route is 150 kilometers—perfect for a solid one or two-day adventure. There’s a decent bit of climbing, especially in the first half, but you’ll be rewarded with long, scenic descents as you get closer to Linz. Expect mostly paved roads and plenty of stretches where you’ll barely see a car, as well as some classic gravel sections to keep things interesting.
Once you roll into Linz, Austria’s vibrant arts city on the Danube, treat yourself at one of the many cozy cafes along the river. Whether you’re in it for the landscapes, the mellow vibe, or the chance to spin between two of Austria’s coolest cities, this ride won’t disappoint!
