Quick ride by bicycle from Klagenfurt to Maria Wörth

Looking for a scenic ride that blends culture, nature, and a splash of lakeside charm? This 15 km route takes you from the vibrant city of Klagenfurt to the tranquil peninsula town of Maria Wörth. Starting off in Klagenfurt—famous for its Renaissance old town and cozy cafés—you’ll roll southwest, enjoying mostly smooth, paved cycle paths and quiet roads (so you can truly relax and soak in the views).

The route isn’t entirely flat, with a few gentle climbs (and matching downhills!), but the reward is scenery: think lush woods, open meadows, and glimpses of sparkling Lake Wörth along the way. With almost all the riding on good-quality surfaces, it’s ideal for all levels.

Arriving in Maria Wörth feels like landing in a storybook setting. The village sits on a slender jut of land, crowned by its picturesque lakeside churches—some of the most photographed in Carinthia. Take some time by the water, grab a coffee, or just snap a few photos before heading back or exploring further. It’s a classic Carinthian ride: short, sweet, and full of charm.
