The Wörthersee Schifffahrt runs passenger boats across the 16-kilometer Wörthersee from Klagenfurt to Velden, with stops at Pörtschach, Maria Wörth, and several smaller piers. The full crossing takes about 2 hours; individual segments 20-40 minutes. The Maria Wörth peninsula stop is worth a 20-minute walk to see the twin churches, one Romanesque, one Gothic, on the narrow headland before reboarding. Seasonal service April to October; check woerthersee.com for the current timetable. Single fares approximately EUR 7-14 depending on distance; day passes available. Klagenfurt is 1.5 hours from Salzburg by train. The boat is the only way to see the lakeside villa architecture and the Maria Wörth headland from the water.
