Cycling holiday in the Salzburg Lungau
Discover the cycle trails in the Salzburg Lungau
Cycling holiday with mountain air: Salzburg Lungau
The holiday destination around Salzburg is Austria’s highest e-bike region. The 15 picturesque villages in the Lungau region are located at an average height of 1,000 m above sea level. Breathe in the mountain air, soak up the sun and cycle through Austria’s largest UNESCO biosphere park.
The fact that the natural and cultural landscape of the Salzburg Lungau was awarded the accolade of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is testament to the quality of the nature region: the large, protected area stands for valuable habitats, the preservation of biological diversity and maintenance of cultural values & traditions. Authenticity awaits you in the Lungau – from your saddle to the “Lungauer Speis” businesses.
The Pedelecs – rental e-bikes in the highly located e-bike region in Austria – make it possible to reach mountain chalets and enjoy unexpectedly beautiful outlook points. As well as high cycle paths, a close network of battery charging stations and competent cycling technology partners round off the e-infrastructure for the perfect cycling holiday in Lungau.
Natural gem – St. Michael
The picturesque market town of St. Michael is undoubtedly the most popular place for tourists in the Salzburg Lungau. It is embedded in the mountain scenery of the Speiereck and Katschberg-Aineck at a height of 1,075m above sea level. The Mur Cycle Track takes pleasure cyclists directly along the Mur and the famous Tour de Mur also runs its course here – to Bad Radkersburg. Yet the towns of Zederhaus, Muhr, St. Margarethen, Thomatal and Unternberg also offer perfect terrain for hobby cyclists.

Impressions of cycling in the Salzburg Lungau region
Leisure experts
Yellow, red, blue, dotted, small, large, round and oblong, waxy and floury anyway – potato varieties are like stars in the sky. For Hans Moser and Andrea, this is always an incentive to cultivate unusual “newcomers” in addition to popular standard varieties here in Salzburg’s Lungau region every year.
