Alternatively, you can use the "Steeg parking lot" in Bad Goisern. **The Ostuferradweg is one of the most beautiful cycle paths in the Salzkammergut and lies right on the shores of Lake Hallstatt.** Hiking and cycling along Lake Hallstatt --------------------------------------- The **[Ostuferwanderweg](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/430006978/ostuferwanderweg-am-hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** is often described as one of the **most beautiful cycle hiking trails** in the Salzkammergut. One of the special features of this trail is the exciting suspension bridge over one of the deepest parts of Lake Hallstatt. As many hikers also use this route, we expect full **consideration** from cyclists here. Unfortunately, this is sometimes difficult in the narrower passages. **Dismounting** is sometimes necessary for the benefit of pedestrians. Those who love variety will also get their money's worth, as the hike can be combined with a short train or boat trip. First, hikers and cyclists share the path. After the **[Uferwirt Seeraunzn](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/103746/uferwirt-seeraunzn.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** the path continues for around two kilometres separately. A short distance before the suspension bridge, the paths merge again. Nature experience for cyclists ------------------------------ The fjord-like lake landscape, characterised by glacial ice from the Ice Age, is impressive. Around 10,000 years ago, the **[Lake Hallstatt](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/430017381/hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** has its current appearance with the greatest width of 2.1 km and the greatest length of 8.2 kilometres. A gravel path leads southwards between the lakeshore and the railway across meadows, past individual houses and later up and down in the forest. When you cross the suspension bridge to Wehrgraben, remember that the lake has its greatest depth right here at 125.2 metres. The fifth largest lake in the Salzkammergut has an area of exactly 8.58 m2. There are several ways to enter the landscape experience, as in **[Obertraun](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000976/obertraun-am-hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata) or **[Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/bad-goisern-am-hallstaettersee.html?utm_campaign=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_source=tourdata)**. The easiest place to start is in the village of Au in Bad Goisern. There are several inns here. The route follows the R2 cycle path to Untersee and from there you follow the tarmac path to the lake. Continue to **[Uferwirt Seeraunzn](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/103746/uferwirt-seeraunzn.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)**, always directly alongside Lake Hallstatt. The cycle path then runs separately from the hiking trail, above the lake. There are a few short climbs to overcome. After around two kilometres, the trail continues together with the hiking trail and you first pass the **suspension bridge** before you pass the **[Hallstatt railway station](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/430003991/bahnhof-hallstatt.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** to **Obertraun**. The **return journey** is **recommended on the same route** as there is no cycle path from Hallstatt to Bad Goisern and the road is very busy.
