Cycling holiday in the Quellenviertel
Destination for enjoyable cycling: Upper Austria / Austria
A region for explorers
The Bavarian-Austrian Spring Quarter stretchesbetween the Salzach, Inn and Mattig rivers in Upper Austria - an insider tip for pleasure cyclists. With over 700 kilometres of cycle paths and a new circular tour since May 2025, the region combines impressive natural areas, cultural highlights and culinary experiences.
The Bavarian-Austrian spring district is still considered an insider tip for cyclists. Between the rivers Salzach, Inn and Mattig, there is a network of over 700 kilometres of cycle paths to discover. Due to the topography with flat sections and mostly only gentle climbs, the region is particularly popular with leisure cyclists. In between are unique natural areas such as the floodplains along the Salzach, the impressive Salzach Gorge and the Lower Inn European Nature Reserve, a paradise for birdwatchers.
