Tauernradweg

The Tauernradweg is one of Austria's major long-distance cycling routes, running from the Hohe Tauern mountains down through the Salzburg region to the Salzach River and ultimately to Passau on the German border. It passes through Oberndorf bei Salzburg, the village where "Silent Night" was first performed in 1818.

The Tauernradweg is one of Austria’s major long-distance cycling routes, running approximately 310 km from the Hohe Tauern mountains through Salzburg and along the Salzach River to Passau. It passes through Oberndorf bei Salzburg, where “Silent Night” was first performed in 1818. The route is mostly downstream and well-signposted, which makes it more accessible than most Alpine cycling routes. The Salzach corridor section through and beyond Salzburg is the most popular stretch. The Oberndorf tourist office or Salzburg’s cycling infrastructure maps can provide detailed stage information.
