On this bridge you should definitely use the right side, otherwise you will have problems turning onto the path to the Salzach.

Today turned out differently than planned. Since the Tauernschleuse is closed for construction, a bus shuttle is being used via the Tauern Autobahn. Therefore, today we only cycled about 30km 🚲, hiked for 3 hours🥾, and took a 3-hour bus shuttle🚌. The weather is warm🌤 and 28°C. Couldn't be better.

Last leisurely farewell tour on the Tauern Cycle Path, always along the Salzach towards Salzburg. Unfortunately, the Salzach was no longer as beautifully blue as usual due to the storm, but you can cycle here comfortably and without any effort. 😊💯👍
I'm already looking forward to next year!
