CyclistSalzburgerLand Gravel Tour is a new 7,000km network of cycling blissThe hills are alive with the sound of freehubs and crunching gravel: SalzburgerLand Gravel Tour is a new network of gravel cycling routes taking cyclists on some of the most scenic bike rides the world has to offer.Whether you cycle for pleasure or pain, theres 7,000km worth of exploration to do, with rides along either the seven-day gentle or ten-day rough routes, which can be done either as a multi-day adventure loop or you can select a leg to do on its own.So, which route will you be taking?The gentle routeWhile 460km and 6,700m of elevation sounds anything but gentle, but the circuit has been designed to be done over five to seven days.Starting and finishing in Salzburg, the route takes in incredible scenery with large stretches on cycle paths, gravel paths, old railways as well as river and lakeside paths as riders pass through Strubklamm gorge, the Salzkammergut lakes, the ancient Postalm road, Lake Zell, the Leogang Mountains and the Saalachtal valley.There are plenty of things to do along the way too, such as trips to natural rock pools, Fuschlsee and Wolfgangsee lakes and the Vorderkaserklamm gorge natural swimming spot. Its not all water though, Mittersill is home to the Hohe Tauern National Park, and the Liechtensteinklamm gorge in St. Johann has a new must-see Helix stairway between the cliffs. There are also culinary stops including the Almkserei Schnitzhofalm Alpine dairy, where you can taste the renowned Almkse cheese.And you can finish your holiday by relaxing in Salzburg and discovering the wealth of art and culture it has to offer.The rough routeThe harder route does take in highlights from the gentle tour, but expands to total a massive 650km and 12,700m of elevation for ten to 12 days of adventure, so make sure youre up to the challenge if you want to take this one on.The big talking point of the rough route is the mountains. It includes Zwlferhorn above Wolfgangsee, the Radstdter Tauern range, Leogangs incredible Asitz and Aschauer Sattel. However the highlight is surely the ascent of the remarkable Grossglockner High Alpine Road, the highest paved mountain pass in Austria and a true bucket list-worthy climb.Its not all scenery and suffering on this route though, theres history with the Mauterndorf Castle and the Edenvest castle ruins, theres more nature at Wildpark Untertauern, and theres food at the Lrchenhtte hut looking over the stunning Wolfgangsee lake.But the real highlight is, of course, the cycling.One step at a timeWhile both routes are incredible adventures, it is possible of course to just go and ride a smaller section. Not everyone has ten days to spare. You can do as much or as little as you want, and there are plenty of easily accessible points of the road connected to towns with train stations including Radstadt, St Johann or Saalfelden, as well as Salzburg itself. So jump in where it suits you and enjoy the ride.For the full details visit salzburgerland.com Related Posts Classic climb: tztal Glacier Road, the highest paved road in the Alps Big Ride: The Grossglockner, Austrias Alpine giant Big Ride: The high road in Austria The post SalzburgerLand Gravel Tour is a new 7,000km network of cycling bliss appeared first on Cyclist.
