So, when you cycle from Salzburg to Eugendorf, you pass a route that used to be the Ischl Railway. You'll immediately start singing: "Between Salzburg and Bad Ischl... there's a lovely little railway..." The nostalgia gets right into your bones! This old route has so much charm, and now it's crazy that politicians back in the late 1950s simply destroyed this wonderful connection. Today, the cycle path is one of the best attractions – anyone who enjoys cycling should check it out. The path winds idyllically through the countryside and offers beautiful views. How can people be so short-sighted? Instead of a leisurely train ride, you now get a top-notch cycle path experience! There's nothing left to do but enjoy the beautiful nature and keep the memories of the old days alive!

The Zilling Viaduct, also known as the Hallwang Viaduct, is an impressive structure on the West Autobahn in Hallwang. The bridge spans the valley and presents itself with great elegance. A striking symbol of the technology and drive of our transport system.

The viaduct (Söllheim valley crossing) is a striking landmark for all those traveling on the Ischl railway line.
