The route winds along narrow roads, partly on tarmac and partly on gravel roads to Straß im Attergau. Continuing towards the lake, you reach the northern end of Lake Attersee in Seewalchen. Continue along small roads, alternating between settlements and fields, until you finally reach the ceramics town of Gmunden. Round off the day in comfort with a boat trip from Gmunden to Ebensee.

The alternative route runs more along main roads but offers a variety of wonderful views of the lakes.

approx. 43 km, altitude difference: ascent 300/descent 160 m
You leave the saltworks town of Ebensee, located at the southern end of Lake Traunsee, and follow the route of the brine pipeline.

Continuing up the Traun, you reach the imperial town of Bad Ischl, where you turn west and cycle through small villages towards Lake Wolfgangsee to St. Wolfgang with its famous Weisse Rössl hotel. After exploring the town, you cross the lake on the cycle ferry and follow the former route of the Salzkammergut local railway through the Blinklingmoos to Strobl.

A little further on you reach Lake Hallstatt, on the eastern shore of which you cycle towards Obertraun with wonderful views, partly over suspension bridges over the water, which cling to the steep rock faces. Another loop around the southern end of the lake and you reach the UNESCO World Heritage town of Hallstatt.
