the atmosphere
by Maximilian21
On the overall Klagenfurt, in particualar around lake worthersee is very beautiful. However it has had the reputation of being a bit snobby and pretentious.
Although i thouroughly enjoyed my time here it was still intersting to see the wannabies lurking around trying to get there picture in the papaer with a bunch of celebrities i had never heard of.
If you dont take the whole vibe to seriously youl have the greatest time ever.
Carinthian anthem
by ATLC
Dort wo Tirol an Salzburg grenzt,
De Glockners Eisgefilde glänzet
Wo aus dem Kranz, der es umschliesst,
Der Lieter reine Quelle fliesst,
Laut tosend längs der Berge rand
Beginnt mein teures Heimatland.
Wo mannesmut und Frauentreu'
Die Heimat sich erstritt aufs neu',
Wom an mit Blut die Grenze schieb
Unf drie in Not und Tot verblieb,
Hell jubelnd klingy's zur Bergeswand:
Das ist mein herrlich' Heimatland!
I have not found a place like...

I have not found a place like this in any other city in Austria so far, at first I thought it was a cafe or restaurant because of it's name which means 'Joerg's meeting point' (Joerg is Haider's first name - for details look at the travelogue); but then I looked closer and found out that it is some kind of information centre, or party centre for Haider's 'Freedom Party', I am not sure what is really going on in there as it was closed the day I was there; anyway those kind of things give you an idea of the different 'style' of politics in this part of Austria
