Ten Lakes for families

On the way in the Lake District around Salzburg

8 Days / 7 Nights
Medium
Attersee with view of the Höllengebirge

Experience adventure, enjoy nature, swimming fun and watersports in many lakes, snack on Kaiserschmarrn, taste some ice-cream and of course cycle – if you tell your children these things, would they be jumping with enthusiasm? We hope so! All of this and much more is offered on our Ten Lakes Tour through the Salzburg Lake District and the Salzkammergut. Join us on a holiday in Austria that you won’t soon forget – and that will give you strength to return to the hectic pace of daily life.

And we’re off! Explore the delightful Mozart city of Salzburg with every sense. The charming old town attracts around nine million visitors every year. While the main routes around the Getreidegasse are bursting with liveliness, you can lose yourself in the side streets and find quieter areas.

Burghausen, Schleedorf and Thalgau are among the lovely villages on the tour that fit seamlessly into the captivating Alpine landscape. Enjoy not only the Austrian delicacies of Kasnocken and the likes, but also the special hospitality. The absolute highlight of the tour are of course the numerous lakes: Wallersee, Mondsee, Holzöster See, Trumer Seen – they are just waiting for you to jump in!

  • Lots of lakes with great beaches: Bathing fun shouldn’t be forgotten on a holiday with the kids. The many beaches guarantee action for the children and relaxation for the grown-ups. By the way, admission is often free with a Eurobike tour.
  • Adventure for the whole family: Slide up to 70 km/h and 45m high over 650m of forests, meadows and streams? The European slide is the ultimate adrenaline rush in the Seeham high ropes course. Over 110cm of fun and action await all visitors in the various courses on the legendary Teufelsgraben. Thanks to the Seenland Card, many attractions along the route are discounted or free, from boat trips to stand-up paddling.
  • Cycling in Austria’s largest moor area: The Ibmer Moor has a mystical flair that you simply must experience. Cycle through the special area and discover the extraordinary flora and fauna on the moor nature trail.
  • Strolling through the cultural city of Salzburg: In Mozart’s city there is not only lots to experience (the old town, Hohensalzburg Fortress and a tip for children, the Hause des Meeres), but also taste. Apple strudel, Kaisterschmarrn (like chopped up pancake with jam), Salzburger Nockerl (a famous dessert) – indulge in sweet cravings after many kilometres on the bike!

The approx. 35 to 45 kilometre-long stages not only offer magnificent views, but also numerous attractions. There are some longer inclines waiting on the otherwise mostly flat route, but thanks to the well-developed cycle paths, these can be mastered without problems. Many opportunities to take a break complement the great route.

Itinerary at a glance

Hotel example: Goldenes Theater

After a short ride by regional railway, you autonomously start your family tour full of beans in Oberndorf (exercised cyclists can take already the bike to cycle to Oberndorf), birthplace of the most famous Christmas carol ever: ‚Silent Night’. Then onwards along the lovely babbling river Salzach into the diverse nature of Austria’s largest moor area: here the warm lakes Höllerersee and Holzöstersee with lido for families await. Just like a little Garden of Eden.

Hotel example: Seewirt Franking

 

After a swim in the wonderful warm moorland lake, come and join the funny “Wanderbauerngolf”- a special kind of miniature golf along funny walking paths, played with wooden bats. Alternatively you can also go for another cycling tour along the river Salzach to Burghausen, a beautiful city with its very charming old town.

Hotel example: Seewirt Franking

 

Here in the nature reserve, time seems to stand still. You cycle past the animal paradise to Michaelbeuern and from there into the Trumer-Lake district with its three crystal clear lakes, Lake Obertrumer See, Lake Mattsee and Lake Grabensee. This is the best place to cool off, have fun and relax in the glistening water after your cycling tour.

Hotel example: Hotel Walkner

 

A cool jump into the water? Not just one but three massive lidos (entrance fee included) await you. Try the slide or the raft, this place has a lot to offer. However, this is not all yet: you can experience the areal adventure in the high rope course and swing as high as 35 metres (not opened daily). Or you do a short cycle tour along the Obertrumer See – Bathing stop inclusive.

Hotel example: Hotel Walkner

 

You cycle through the nature reserve of the pretty Egelseen-lakes to Schleedorf, from there you continue along the sparkling Lake Irrsee all the way to Lake Mondsee. At the tranquil Lake Mondsee you will not miss out on swimming and fun, that’s a guarantee! During your cycling tour you get to taste typically Austrian cuisine, dishes such as Schnitzel and apple strudel, in one of the many inns.

Hotel example: Landhaus Meingast

 

The route leads you past lush meadows along the cycle path to Thalgau and onwards to Eugendorf. From here you continue on the tracks of the disused Ischler-railway all the way to the river Salzach and then along the Tauern-cycle path into the centre of Salzburg. As a reward you can treat yourselves to a delicious ice cream or try the original Salzburg chocolates called ‚Mozartkugeln’ at the place of their creation. Be advised to take enough time for this city. There is so much to see: a visit to  Mozart’s birth place, cathedral, Mirabell palace or the castle ‚Hohensalzburg’. The water fountains in Hellbrunn palace are a lot of fun too. The Zoo Hellbrun is a must for all animal lovers.

Hotel example: Goldenes Theater

 

Today options for departure are all yours. Alternatively, how about you add an extra day and discover all of Salzburg’s secrets?
