Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Salzbourg à Braunau am Inn

Looking for a scenic ride that links historic cities and runs through rolling Austrian countryside? Try cycling from Salzburg to Braunau am Inn! Starting in Salzburg, Mozart’s charming hometown, you’ll pedal past baroque buildings, the Salzach river, and plenty of cultural sights. The route is mostly on quiet roads and cycleways—perfect for a peaceful day out, with about 79 km ahead of you.

You’ll crank through gentle ascents (nothing too crazy, maxing out around 580 m) and enjoy more downhill sections as you cruise north. The landscape is classic Upper Austria: lush fields, small farming villages, and occasional forest patches. Just be prepared for a bit of variety in the surfaces; most is smooth asphalt, but watch for short unpaved segments.

Your destination, Braunau am Inn, sits right beside the German border, with a lovely historic center and the mighty Inn River. It’s a great spot for a rewarding post-ride drink or stroll by the water. All in all, this route is a mix of culture, nature, and relaxed pedaling—ideal for a fulfilling day out!
