Self-guided Cycling holiday along the River Inn

This holiday mainly follows cycle paths with some roads and undulating sections.

Day 1: Arrival in Innsbruck. If time permits a visit to the Golden roof and the Imperial palace are well worth a visit.

Day 5: Cycle to picturesque Wasserburg, a medieval town full of colourful gothic houses which almost feels like an island practically surrounded by the Inn (19 miles).

Day 6: Your route takes you through wooded plains to Mühldorf, packed with beautiful buildings dating back to its prosperous days in the salt trade.
