Star of Salzkammergut

Freedom Holiday Self Guided Grading Level 2
7 days/6 nights Low Season £420pp High Season £455pp Tour Code AU015
 

Stay for a week in the Trumer Lakes District. The lakes surrounding Salzburg and the gently undulating hills of Salzburg’s Flachgau form an agreeable and varied cycling country. The lakes Obertrumer See, Mattsee, Grabensee, Wallersee, Holzöstersee, Herathingersee, little Egelseen, Irrsee and Mondsee are touched on your cycle tours. Mozart city Salzburg, “Silent-Night” town Oberndorf, the Benedictine-Abbey Michaelbeuern, old churches of Mattsee and Mondsee, castle Mondsee and Celtic town Hallein with a show salt-mine add the cultural aspect to the natural beauties. River meadows, farmland, Ibmer Moor, shady forests and comfortable cycle paths along the lakes contribute to the pleasures of the tour.

The very good 3*** hotel beautifully combines the tranquillity of the countryside and the flair of Salzburg’s savoir vivre. Cultivated, cosy, friendly – it invites you to feel really good after an active holiday. The rooms have balconies and a view of the Lake; there is a heated pool, a beautiful sun patio and a panorama restaurant as well as a sauna, possibility to play badminton or table tennis. The hotel is located just a few steps away from the Lake and the Village.

As this is a centre based holiday you can decide how many days you would like to stay and the price will be adjusted accordingly.
