Quick ride by bicycle from Salzburg to Hallein

Set off from Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its baroque architecture and lively atmosphere, heading south toward Hallein. The ride is around 18 km—just long enough to feel like an adventure without being exhausting. You'll mostly stick to paved, quiet paths and roads, so it's a relaxing trip, perfect for taking in the gentle countryside around the Salzach River. Expect a few rolling hills; there’s a total ascent of about 150 meters, but nothing too steep for the average cyclist.
