EuroVelo 7 Sun Route

EuroVelo 7 offers exciting views along alpine rivers: the Inn, Salzach, Drau and the Danube. The route leads through beautiful cities such as Linz and Salzburg, as well as breathtaking nature reserves such as the Hohe Tauern National Park. At Rading (AT), EuroVelo 7 crosses the Czech border into Upper Austria (Upper Austria without EuroVelo-compliant signage!) and follows the Vyšší Brod loop (8) to Bad Leonfelden.

It continues along the Mühlviertel cycle path (R5) towards Habruck and then southwards along the Gusental cycle path (R28) to St. Georgen. Afterwards you can bike upstream along the river via the Donau bike path (R1) to Linz, through the famous Schlögener Donauschlinge and further to Passau, the three-river border city. From Passau you can follow the Inn- or Tauern cycle paths along the Bavarian-Austrian border and through the Lower Inn European Reserve to Salzburg. The city of Salzburg has many cultural attractions and is well worth a longer stay. From the city of Salzburg, the route runs south along the Tauern bike path and continues with the Alpe Adria cycle path through the Gastein Valley to the Tauern lock at Bad Gastein or Böckstein, where you can cross the spectacular Alpenhauptkamm easily by train.

In Mallnitz we recommend a visit to the „BIOS“ National Park Centre of the Hohe Tauern National Park. The scenic route mostly runs downhill until the Möll Bridge (Möllbrücke). At Sachsenburg, the EuroVelo 7 branches off onto the Drau cycle path and runs upstream through Lienz to Italy / Innichen (San Candido).
