À vélo de Maria Wörth à Klagenfurt

This picturesque cycling route takes you from the charming lakeside village of Maria Wörth to the vibrant city of Klagenfurt. Starting from the peninsula of Maria Wörth, nestled on the southern shore of Lake Wörthersee, you’ll have postcard views of the famous pilgrimage church as you set off. The ride is just under 15 km and winds along mostly paved cycleways and quiet roads, making it a pleasant and safe journey for most cyclists.

You'll enjoy gentle rolling hills with a bit of ascent (just under 300 meters), giving you a nice workout without being too challenging. The route mostly hugs the shoreline, so expect plenty of lake views and the occasional glimpse of Carinthian mountain scenery. Klagenfurt awaits at the end of your ride, bustling with historic sights, pavement cafés, and the beautiful old town. Fun fact: Klagenfurt is known for its legendary Lindwurm dragon statue and being the gateway to the Wörthersee region.

So, whether you’re cycling for the exercise, the views, or the café culture at your destination, this route is a perfect way to experience southern Austria’s relaxed and scenic vibe!
