 A beautiful day tour to the Salzkammergut and around the Attersee. This is a long but easy route with a longer ascent to the mountain stage of Hochlecken.

 The tour to one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria is a long but not very demanding loop tour to the Attersee.

From ***Isola Bella*** on side roads towards Gmunden, via the Hochalmstraße to the Hochlecken mountain stage; on the descent towards Attersee, there is a magnificent view of the lake. Around the lake in a clockwise direction. Back to Wels in a figure-eight loop, finally over the Angerlehner Steg to ***Isola Bella***.
