With every pedal stroke, everyday life moves a little further away and movement becomes pleasure. The exciting network of bike paths in the tourist regions of Bad Hall, Pyhrn-Priel, Steyr + the National Park Region and Traunsee – Almtal is especially suited to enjoyable bike holidays in Upper Austria when regional, cultural, and culinary highlights can be explored at your own pace along rivers and waters. 


Whether on an adventure walk on the historic town square in Steyr, strolling on the spa promenade in Bad Hall, or along the Traunsee promenade in Gmunden. A cultural and culinary highlight is a visit to the Cistercian Abbey Schlierbach and the abbey cheese dairy. You will find pure nature in the Reichraming rear mountains, in the nature reserve around Almsee, and at the beautiful natural attractions of the Pyhrn-Priel region such as Schiederweiher or Gleinkersee.
