R200 Drei Städte Tour Rundtour ab Braunau

The three towns of Braunau, Mattighofen and Burghausen can be cycled as part of this varied tour.

The tour starts in the heart of the historic old town of Braunau am Inn, on the town square, which is incidentally the largest of all Inn-Salzach towns. From here, following the Inn in the direction of flow, you come across the Mattig, which is small compared to the Inn and whose gravel banks invite you to linger and splash around on hot summer days. Following the Mattig, we cycle past cultural and culinary treasures such as the hedge labyrinth in Uttendorf or the Vizthum private brewery to the Mattighofen area. Here we particularly recommend a detour to the KTM Motohall, a mixture of museum and brand experience world. The journey continues over hill and dale through the rural cultural landscape. Past the church in Hart, which is well worth seeing, you cycle towards Eggelsberg, where the "Innviertel Cathedral" greets you from afar. Along the terminal moraine wall from the last ice age, where you can enjoy a marvellous view of the Alps in the distance, the route continues on a brisk descent to Ibm, where you reach the Ibmer MoorwegR25. The trail leads towards Ibmer See and past the Geretsberg Peace Panorama through the mighty Weilhartsforst forest to Hochburg, where you can visit the birthplace of F.X. Gruber, who was born 200 years ago. Gruber, who wrote the world-famous Christmas carol "Silent Night" 200 years ago. Cross the old Salzach bridge to reach the Bavarian town of Burghausen with the world's longest castle complex. Before Burghausen, near Ach, we recommend a stop for a panoramic view of the Burghausen fortress.
On the way back from Burghausen to Braunau, it is worth stopping at the Inn-Salzachblick and enjoying the panoramic view of the confluence of the Inn and Salzach rivers. Before you reach Braunau's old town again, you should definitely take a short detour to the former Augustinian monastery in Ranshofen.
