The route towards Kaprun via Lofer is often attractive for guests approaching from Germany and northern Europe. Parts of this journey can be driven on ordinary Austrian main roads rather than vignette-required motorways.

If you do not have a vignette, set your navigation to avoid toll roads and check the complete route before departure.
