The two "rivers" are the Salzach and the Königsseeache. In the Ache, you can cool off in the shallow waters along the gravel path.

Salzach Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Along the Salzach cycle path, near Salzburg's gate, water flows shimmeringly, cooling the hiking basket. The river sings a blue, the mountains watch silently, and every glance tempts you to take the next picture.

Here, you'll easily fall off your bike; so much to see, a photo beckons, a smile never to fade. Rocks, bridges, mirrors, grass in the sunlight, one motif follows the next, gentle and simple.

The cold of the water mingles with the scent of fresh grass, the aroma of bakery products, and the scent of the air. The fields slope, the church steeples wink, and somewhere a melody echoes from the alleys.

The path leads flatly, but your heart rate increases when you immediately catch sight of the deer in the meadow grass. A bend, a bench, a small lake, and every glance lingers as if it were a poem.

So you cycle along, sometimes faster, sometimes gently, because photo opportunities beckon, day and night. Salzburg behind you, the Salzach River glittering in front of you, and every photo makes the soul lighter and happier.
