It really does not matter what kind of cyclist you are, whether you are on a mountain bike, a tandem, a cruiser or just on a plain good old bike – this popular way of moving forward can be used here at the Wörthersee either for bike sports, or for a nice easy ride through the beautiful surrounding countryside. The hilly landscape opens lots of opportunities. Here you can combine a boat-ride with a bike ride, and visit the many sights, after stopping to refresh yourself at the many comfortable resting places along the routes.
A Cycle Hire Shop is nearby where you can hire cycles daily or weekly, you may of course bring your own bike with you and leave it safely with us.
Technical problems with your own bike are no problem for the Zweirad Beindl Company, they will repair them for you, and they also have a large selection of Cycling Goods.
If you are a cycling enthusiast but cannot bring your own bike with you, then you will be given a bike that conforms to your size and expectations.
Enjoy a ride around the lake, or a cycle trip to the weekly market in Klagenfurt, and we will of course tell you where the best cycling tours can be found.
We have a very special offer for those who are really fit and train regularly on a bike:

Old City-Round trip to Klagenfurt (14 km)
From our apartments it is an easy ride, for about 20 minutes until you reach the old city of Klagenfurt, and while you are there why not pay a visit to the “Augustin”, which is one of the original breweries for a snack and a drink, before starting your journey back home feeling completely refreshed.
Round trip around the Wörthersee (approx. 42 km)
Cycle from Krumpendorf to the east end of the lake, (here you could visit Minimundus, and see the world in miniature on the Wörthersee) and afterwards cycle on to Reifnitz and Maria Wörth, where you can visit the pilgrimage church. From here you now take the road to Velden, where the famous Wörthersee Castle stands. Then go via Pörtschach back to Krumpendorf. Should you run out of strength during the tour, you may of course take a boat back from one of the villages around the lake.
5- Lake Round Tour (approx. 35km)
Cycle from Krumpendorf past Pörtschach to Velden, always following the south side of the Lake to Cap Wörth, and then further on through Auen to Dellach.

Then cycle on to Reifnitz and Sekirn (this is where the famous Viennese Boys Choir spend their summer holidays) to Maiernigg (this is the house of Gustav Mahler) and then cycle on to Goritschitzen. Take the forest path past the Rauschelesee, and at the Bassgeigensee you will reach Keutschach. Following the Hafnersee you will reach the Techlweg (Natural Park) and then cycle back to Velden. From here the route leads back via Pörtschach to Krumpendorf.
