Sortie rapide à vélo de Bad Ischl à Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee

This is a mellow ride through the heart of the Salzkammergut! Set off from the Kaiserstadt of Bad Ischl, a charming spa town famous for its imperial villas and sweet Kaiserschmarrn. The route is just about 10 km—perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon. You'll cruise mostly on quiet roads and cycleways (with just a sprinkle of paths), and the surface is almost entirely smooth asphalt or other paved material, so skinny road tires will be just fine.

The ascent is gentle, so there’s no need to worry about tough climbs. Along the way, soak up classic Austrian scenery: rolling meadows, forested hills, and glimpses of distant peaks. As you approach Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee, you'll notice the landscape opening up, hinting at nearby Hallstatt Lake—one of the prettiest in the region.

Both towns are renowned for their history and access to the UNESCO-listed region, so whether you’re finishing at a cozy café in Bad Goisern or planning a trip onwards to the lake, you’re in for a treat. Don’t forget your camera!
