Via Julia Roman Road – Augsburg to Salzburg

The Via Julia Cycle Route runs 312 kilometers from Günzburg to Salzburg. The Via Julia, which has only been called this since 2003, existed as a military road under Emperor Septimius Severus and was an important road connection running from Strasbourg (Argentorum) via Günzburg (Guntia) and Augsburg (Augusta Vindelicum) to Salzburg (Iuvavum).
The starting point of the Via Julia is the Roman-influenced town of Günzburg. From there, the historical route begins, with information on Roman history around Guntia, which follows the route of the Roman road, and ends in Salzburg. At that time, Günzburg (Gontia) was one of the most important road junctions in the Roman province of Raetia. The Via Julia Cycle Route runs from Günzburg (Danube) via Augsburg to Salzburg. The signposted cycle route largely follows the original route of the Roman road. The most important places along the cycle route are: Günzburg - Augsburg - Schöngeising - Gauting - Grünwald - Aying - Aschbach - Rosenheim - Söchtenau - Bad Endorf - Breitbrunn - Seebruck - Chieming - Traunstein - Teisendorf - Freilassing Mitterfelden/Siezenheimer Steg - Salzburg.
