Get on your bike! Cycling around Bad Goisern and the Dachstein

When the snow slowly recedes around the Dachstein and the first meadows turn green again, the cycling season begins in the Salzkammergut. Spring is the ideal time to explore the region without the heat and with plenty of peace and quiet. Trails along the lakes, through valleys and up to the first open mountain pastures make cycling here particularly varied.

Bad Goisern is a very good starting point. From here, you can cycle a relaxed and scenically varied route that is also easy to do on a normal bike. The route towards Lake Hallstatt and further along the Ostufer cycle path is particularly popular. The route is mostly flat, leads through small villages, past the Traun and always with views of the surrounding mountains.

This tour is ideal for leisurely cycling in the Salzkammergut. Along the way, there are many opportunities for short stops by the water, in small cafés or at viewpoints. The atmosphere here is particularly peaceful in spring, as the summer crowds have not yet set in.

Those staying at Homebound Bad Goisern can discover the region in a particularly uncomplicated way. Guests have the opportunity to hire bikes free of charge directly on site. This means you can decide spontaneously whether to take a short tour into the town, ride along the Traun or extend your day towards the lake.

For those who want to bring their own e-bike or ride longer distances, there are additional options. E-bikes can also be used to tackle climbs in the direction of Gosau or the route to Lake Gosau. These routes are a little more challenging, but offer impressive views of the Dachstein massif and the surrounding mountains.

It is precisely this combination that makes the region so interesting: easy, flat routes for relaxed days and more challenging e-bike tours for those looking for more altitude and panoramic views. This means that spring around Bad Goisern can be organized flexibly, depending on your mood, weather and energy level.
