Car-free day at Lake Wörthersee 2026 – active, climate-friendly & full of lake feeling

On Sunday, April 25, 2026, the road around Lake Wörthersee will once again belong entirely to cyclists, skaters and walkers. On the car-free day at Lake Wörthersee, the B83 federal road will be closed for over 40 kilometers – and the asphalt will become a stage for soft mobility. Between Velden, Pörtschach, Krumpendorf and Klagenfurt, visitors can experience the lake car-free, actively and to the full.

Exercise, encounters & enjoyment by the lake

From 10:00 to 17:00, the route is car-free – and open to everyone who wants to cycle around Lake Wörthersee in a sporty or leisurely manner. Along the route you can expect refreshment stations, music, culinary delights, information stands and a colorful program for young and old. There’s also plenty going on in Velden: the lakeside promenade is transformed into an action zone with plenty of atmosphere, regional delights and sporting energy.

Sustainable travel – on the turquoise waters of Lake Wörthersee

The car-free day is more than just an event – it is a statement for sustainability, joie de vivre and climate-friendly transportation.
