The romantic side of a motorbike holiday

Picturesque mountain landscapes, enchanting lakes and stunning motorcycling routes – the Salzkammergut offers all of this. Motorcyclists have long appreciated the region, and couples looking to enjoy a romantic holiday will also find their own personal ‘happy places’ in the Salzkammergut.

Consequently, the region is ideal for a romantic motorbike holiday that promises more than just a few relaxing days.

Enjoying the Salzkammergut together

Breathtaking spots and winding roads are paradise on earth for motorcyclists. The Salzkammergut has plenty to offer of both, and the romantic “happy places” of the mountains and lakes in particular provide the perfect backdrop for lovers to spend an unforgettable holiday. It’s easy to find a lovely hotel in the Salzkammergut to use as a base for daily tours, as the region has long been geared towards motorcyclists and their needs. A comfortable room for a good night’s sleep and excellent service are the most important foundations for a relaxing holiday. Furthermore, a good range of wellness facilities has become important for many bikers, as it allows them to unwind together with their partner after a long ride. A good glass of wine, a tasty meal and a cosy atmosphere are the perfect way to feel at home in the Salzkammergut and plan the next day’s ride together.

Picturesque views ensure unforgettable moments

There are plenty of interesting routes in the Salzkammergut. For example, you can plan a beautiful tour in the border area between Salzburg and Upper Austria, which offers some wonderful panoramic views and also leads to some of the region’s most beautiful spots. Lovers can follow in the footsteps of Empress Sissi on a walk in Bad Ischl, and it’s well worth continuing on to Lake Wolfgang, where a romantic boat trip or simply some time together at one of the many bathing spots is possible. The tour could continue on to Lake Mondsee and then to Lake Irrsee or Lake Zellersee, which is one of the warmest lakes in the region. Continue via Attersee and then to Gmunden, once a popular summer retreat for the Austrian nobility. As a final stop, it is well worth visiting Traunsee, which, with its varied lakeside landscape and the Traunstein massif in the background, is not only a beautiful photo opportunity but also invites you to fully enjoy the romantic panorama. Of course, the Salzkammergut has many other destinations in store that are particularly interesting to enjoy with your partner. An absolute must is, of course, a drive along the Panoramic Road, where, as the name suggests, breathtaking scenery and views are guaranteed.

Plan your tours well

A romantic motorbike holiday, in particular, should always allow plenty of time for enjoyment. Tours should therefore be planned so that there is sufficient time for quality time together during the motorbike holiday. When planning, it is particularly important not only to select the destinations but also to ensure optimum safety whilst riding. Once the tours have been planned and the motorbike, along with protective clothing and a helmet (available, for example, here), is ready to go, nothing stands in the way of a romantic motorcycling holiday in the Salzkammergut.
