The Enns Valley and the Austrian Lakes
The Enns Valley and the Austrian Lakes
11 Day Cycling Holiday
‘One Night Stops’ 7 Day
The hills are certainly alive in ‘The Sound of Music’ country. As you freewheel through the beautiful Enns Valley, the lush green meadows grazed by cattle give way to golden cornfields and dense pine forests clinging to the lower slopes of towering peaks.
This enchanting ride through spectacular scenery features several of Austria’s most picturesque lakes, perfect for making a summer splash.
Highlights will include:
- Schladming - a popular summer walking resort with an attractive pedestrianised centre
- The Enns Valley – the River Enns flows through breathtaking scenery, linking a chain of picturesque towns and villages
- Austria’s magnificent lake district: The Salzkammergut
- St Wolfgang – pretty lakeside resort with many ancient buildings
- St Gilgen - birthplace to Mozart’s mother and an inspiration to the great composer
- Mondsee - the heart of ‘Sound of Music’ country and the location for the film’s wedding scene
