Salzburg by bike
On the way around the Blue Goose
Urban biking
Salzburg can be wonderfully explored on two wheels, we say: sightbiking instead of sightseeing!
Without any stress or COâ‚‚ footprint.
Mozart & Co can be found without us.
But where are the hip hotspots that are a little more hidden?
We have the tips to help you get to know the real Salzburg, away from the well-known clichés.
The back of the Mozartkugel, so to speak.
Our employees are true lifestyle guides and will be happy to show you the city’s new hotspots.
The most exciting districts can be easily discovered by bike from the hotel in the center of Salzburg.
Thanks to our location directly on Getreidegasse, we are the perfect starting point for short tours or longer excursions.
Our city bikes are included in the room price and can be used at any time.
Simply saddle up and let reception know.
In winter the wheels take a break.
But as soon as spring awakens, they are ready again: for small escapes, big discoveries and the most beautiful tours through Salzburg.
Cycling tours from the Hotel Blaue Gans: three special routes
Bicycle tour to Leopoldskron in Salzburg
Leopoldskron is a mythical and mystical place at the same time.
Festival founder Max Reinhardt settled in the archbishop’s former hunting lodge and organized opulent evenings here.
You can still admire his extensive library there today – a place full of history, very close to our bike hotel in Salzburg.
The flamingos in the small, publicly accessible zoo greet us.
They are exotic peripheral phenomena of a small animal paradise.
From our hotel in the center of Salzburg you can easily reach Leopoldskron by city bike – ideal for a relaxed tour during your cycling holiday in Salzburg.
Hellbrunner Allee – green axis through the city
If you want to cycle from the center to the south of the city, take Hellbrunner Allee, a historic tree-lined avenue that is one of the most beautiful cycle routes in Salzburg.
An experience for all the senses awaits you immediately afterwards: Hellbrunn Palace with its pleasure gardens, water features and grottos.
The route is flat, quiet and full of viewpoints, perfect for relaxed half-day trips.
Salzachufer – cycling on the water
The Salzach is more than just a river, it is Salzburg’s lifeline.
Along the well-developed cycle path you will not only discover the city center, but also the greener and quieter sides of the city.
You cycle through floodplains and meadows, along the Königsseeche, and almost traffic-free.
Starting point?
Right in front of the door of the Hotel Blaue Gans.
Travel sustainably and still be independent
Cycling in Salzburg means: no searching for a parking space, no traffic jams, no time pressure.
But there is fresh air, your own path and new perspectives.
Anyone who chooses a bike not only discovers the city, but also a different pace.
And the best thing about it: you are doing something good for yourself and the environment.
No CO2 footprint, but even more lasting impressions.
