Day 17: Cycling from Berlin to Athens

Day 17

Salzburg > Bischofshofen > Bad Gastein


109,2km

7 hours 07 mins

2,654m elevation gain




Today had a lot of things - it was long, mountainous, beautiful and ever-changing. The tiredness was held back until we finally reached Bad Gastein - I had to push my bike most of the way up into the ski resort and then we truly were exhausted. We were pleased to make it though and the whole day had been a delight of riding. We also had a rest day either side of this long day, to reward ourselves.

See how pleased we are today

Mountains

The River Salzach we followed most of the day

Beautiful scenes on our route - no more rain today!

Sights of note

  • A horse and carriage 
  • All sorts of different pumpkins for sale on the side of the road
  • Long tunnels with extremely loud acoustics
