Alpe Adria Cycle Path: Salzburg - Grado

Cycle from Salzburg through Austria to the Adriatic coast in Grado, Italy. The route follows well-developed cycle paths along the Salzach and Drau rivers, passing through the Gastein Valley and Villach. Train transfers bypass challenging sections at Böckstein-Mallnitz and Villach-Tarvisio. Daily distances average 55-70 km on slightly hilly terrain. Highlights include Salzburg's historic center, Bad Gastein's waterfall, the Renaissance palace in Spittal, Udine's Gothic architecture, and Grado's sandy beaches.
