Tauern Bike Trail 2021 - Part 1

Tauern Bike Trail
 
Thursday - June 3rd 2021
 
Last year we got hooked on bike tours. After the Alpe Adria Trail last summer and Salzkammergut Trail last autumn we wanted to try another bike trail. This time we decided to try the Tauern Bike Trail from Krimml to Salzburg. Our journey started early Thursday morning. First we had to take the train from Salzburg to Zell am See from where we had to change to the local train to Krimml. After several hours of train rides we finally arrived in Krimml. From the train station we still had to ascend about 4km to reach the actual start of the Tauern Bike Trail.

Once we reached the start, we got a beer, because it was already noon, and then it we hit the bike trail towards Zell am See. First we had to take the same route through the forest back to Krimml and from there we followed the Salzach river to Neukirchen and then onwards to Mittersill. In Mittersill we stopped for an ice cold beer and then we continued our tour. Luckily the weather was really nice, although a little bit too warm.

From Mittersill we cycled via Kaprun and Zell am See to Thumersbach, where we arrived in the late afternoon at our Bed & Breakfast called Pension Claudia. Our room was simple, but totally fine for just one night. Once we checked in, we got a beer to celebrate our arrival. After we showered we headed into the village to find a restaurant for dinner. Claudia and I decided to have dinner at the Beach Club, because there they offered a vegan burger. Claudia tried the burger and I got Spaghetti Napoli. A couple of drinks later we returned to the hotel, watched TV and then it was time for bed.
