Cycling day trip from Braunau am Inn to Salzburg

Route: Braunau am Inn to Salzburg

Fancy a scenic ride from Braunau am Inn to Salzburg? This lovely route covers just over 80 km and is perfect if you want a full day’s adventure with a bit of challenge (over 620 meters of ascent to keep those legs busy). You’ll roll out from Braunau am Inn—a town known for its historic old town and riverside views—following mostly smooth, quiet roads and dedicated cycleways for an easygoing vibe.

As you ride south, the scenery shifts from rural fields to lush river valleys, giving you plenty to look at. About two-thirds of the journey is on asphalt, meaning your ride should be comfortable the whole way, with very little unpaved surface to worry about.

You’ll finish up in Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and home to baroque architecture, alpine vistas, and of course, The Sound of Music. With mostly quiet roads and cycleways, this route is an excellent choice for a stress-free ride into one of Austria’s most beautiful cities. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a coffee and strudel when you arrive!
