Cycling day trip from Braunau am Inn to Dorfbeuern

Ready for a ride through Upper Austria and into Salzburg? This scenic cycling route starts in Braunau am Inn, a charming town right on the German border, known for its picturesque old town and historic city gates. You’ll cruise mostly on quiet roads (so expect a peaceful pedal), with a pleasant mix of paved and asphalt surfaces—great for a relaxed spin.

The route heads south, gently rolling through pretty farmland and small villages. There’s a bit of climb—nothing too wild, but you’ll feel your legs on some sections with over 500 meters of ascent. Along the way, enjoy open fields and forested stretches; don’t be surprised if you spot some classic Bavarian-Alpine views!

You’ll finish up in Dorfbeuern, a small but lovely village famous for its beautiful Benedictine monastery, Michaelbeuern Abbey. Take a moment here to soak up the tranquil vibe before your return or next adventure.

Perfect for a day trip if you like quiet roads, gentle countryside climbs, and a slice of Austrian rural charm!
