Tauern Bike Trail II 2021 - Part 1

Tauern Bike Trail

Wednesday - August 18th 2021

Early June Claudia and I did the first part of the Tauern Bike Trail from Krimml to Salzburg. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to finish the bike trail towards Passau. So after our themepark tour we decided to get on our bikes again and finish the Tauern Bike Trail. The weather forecast wasn't that great and so due to the rain we left Salzburg later than expected. Our first stop along the way was Oberndorf where we got a cup of coffee and visited the famous Silent Night Chapel.

Soon we reached Upper Austria and followed the Salzach River towards Burghausen, a small town on the German side of the river. Today we brought our own snacks from home and so we stopped several times along the way to eat our rolls. After Bughausen the Salzach River flowed into the Inn River, which the bike trail continued to follow towards Braunau.

Arriving in Braunau

In Braunau we stayed at Hotel Mayrbräu which was conveniently located near town square with all the restaurants and bars. Check in was quick and soon we could jump under the shower to refresh again. Afterwards we headed out for dinner and it didn't take very long to find a restaurant with vegan options. Claudia ordered the vegan curry and I got the veggie burger at Restaurant Nudelkuchl. Later we just strolled around the little town until we returned to our hotel, where we enjoyed a glass of beer in front of the TV before going to bed.
