__NO_NAME__
Velden is a popular starting point for the Wörthersee Cycle Tour. The lively town on the western shore of the lake combines Mediterranean flair with a perfect infrastructure for cyclists. The tour along the northern shore of Lake Wörthersee starts from here.
Along the northern shore to Pörtschach and Krumpendorf
The cycle path leads past numerous bathing spots and lake access points towards Pörtschach. On this section in particular, you can always enjoy impressive views of the glistening water and the surrounding mountains.
Pörtschach is an ideal place to take a break - for example with a coffee on the promenade or a quick dip in the cool water.
Experience nature in the Keutschacher Seental
valley After the eastern shore, the route continues into the tranquil Keutschacher Seental valley. This region is characterized by rolling hills, forests and several smaller lakes. Here, the nature around Lake Wörthersee shows its particularly idyllic side.
Ideal for leisure cyclists and active excursions
Thanks to its moderate length, the Wörthersee Cycle Tour is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy cycling and nature. With an e-bike, the tour is even more relaxed and can also be easily completed by less experienced cyclists.
If you wish, you can customize the tour along the way and make additional stops in the towns around Lake Wörthersee.
The Wörthersee Cycle Tour is not a tour that should be completed as quickly as possible - on the contrary. Along the route, numerous places invite you to stop for a moment, let your gaze wander over the turquoise waters or enjoy regional specialties.
This makes the cycle tour around Lake Wörthersee a special experience between exercise, nature and vacation feeling.
