Salzkammergut Bike Trail 2020 - Part 1

Salzkammergut Bike Trail
 
Thursday - October 22nd 2020
 
After our bicycle trip along the Alpe Adria Bike Trail this Summer, Claudia and I wanted to do another bike tour this year. We decided to give the Salzkammergut Bike Trail a try since it starts and ends here in Salzburg. Although the weather forecast was not the best, rain was expected on our third day, we started our tour nonetheless. Before we hit the road we got baked goods at a nearby bakery for a late breakfast along the way. The first part of today's leg took us from Salzburg along the Salzach river until we had to cross a small forrest, where we saw wild hogs. Our first stop was in Obertrum to eat our pastries we brought with us.

A couple of kilometres later we stopped in Mattsee to get a hot cup of coffee at a local coffee house to warm up again, because although the sun was shining, it was not very warm. Later we continued our tour and via Straßwalchen, where we got two cans of beer for our next break, we cycled towards Lake Irrsee. On the way we made a late lunch break to eat our sandwiches we brought along from home and to drink our beers. For the rest of the day we followed our trail towards Mondsee and from there to our hotel at Lake Attersee, where we arrived around 5:00pm. In Unterach we stayed at Seehotel Stadler, a very nice and modern hotel. We got a lovely room with a fantastic view over the lake. Once we checked in and had a shower we ordered a beer and a white wine spritzer to enjoy in our room. We really deserved that after 91 kilometres on the bike. For dinner we went to the hotel restaurant and got delicious pasta. The rest of the evening we spent in our room with a glas of wine in front of the TV.
