Leisure cycling & classic cycling on Lake Attersee (including e-bikes)

Cycling leisurely along the lakeshore, taking in the scenery and letting your mind wander – that’s what leisurely cycling on Lake Attersee is all about. Our holiday region offers two world-famous cycle route highlights that run right through the area and are perfectly suited to both traditional bikes and modern e-bikes:

 

  • The Roman Cycle Route (R6) – Following in historical footsteps

A real treat for culture lovers and families. The cycle route stretches for a total of 242 kilometres from Passau via Lake Attersee to Enns. What makes it special for leisure cyclists is that the route is extremely gentle and has hardly any elevation changes. Lovingly designed information boards, great rest stops and archaeological sites bring the history of the Roman era to life along the way.

  • The Salzkammergut Cycle Route (R2) – The imperial lakeside experience

This legendary, 320-kilometre circular route connects Upper Austria, Salzburg and Styria. It takes you right along the picturesque shores of Lake Attersee, surrounded by a stunning backdrop of crystal-clear water and imposing mountain peaks.

Both cycle routes boast well-maintained, flat sections. The charming lakeside villages also invite you to enjoy leisurely culinary breaks and refreshing swims at any time.
