Excursión ciclista de un día de Bad Reichenhall a Bergheim

This scenic ride takes you from the spa town of Bad Reichenhall—famous for its alpine salt works and wellness retreats—up to the welcoming municipality of Bergheim, just north of Salzburg. At just under 21 km, it’s a relaxed journey with a bit of gentle climbing (about 150 meters up) and a nice net drop in elevation, so you’ll catch some easy downhill stretches too.

The route is friendly for most bikes, with the vast majority on smooth asphalt or paved surfaces. You’ll glide along a mix of quiet roads, peaceful paths, and dedicated cycleways, meaning you’ll hardly tangle with traffic. Along the way, soak up views of the Alpine foothills, green meadows, and the meandering Saalach river.

Bergheim is a charming spot to finish, known for its traditional Austrian flair and proximity to Salzburg. Grab a coffee or a bite at a local café before you head back or explore Salzburg’s historic sights nearby. Perfect for a half-day outing with plenty of fresh air and scenery!
