Enjoy the shining world of lakes in the Salzkammergut
Culture, history and unique landscapes between lakes and mountains – the Salzkammergut is a region in Austria that should not be missed. The area, rich in lakes, can be explored wonderfully by bike, as you can enjoy the magnificent panoramas to the full, get from lake to lake in no time and see many attractions along the route.
Details about the Ten Lakes & Sound of Music tour
At the starting point of the 7-day Ten Lakes Tour you can choose between Salzburg and the Trumer Lakes (in the latter, the stage destinations shift accordingly). The festival city is known as the ‘Rome of the north’ and rightly so: the magnificent houses of worship, splendid architecture and cultural diversity make Salzburg a world-renowned city.
It seems like Christmas is on the way in the Trumer Lake district! But don’t worry, it’s not because of the weather but because of the music! One of the most famous Christmas carols was sung here for the first time in 1818 in the St. Nikola Church in Oberndorf. ‘Silent night, holy night’. The other stage destinations including the Attersee, Traunsee and Wolfgangsee are all about the cool water and beauty of the landscape on the way there.
Useful information about the Ten Lakes & Sound of Music tour
