It‘s cheaper to live in a shared apartment. And, it’s also more sociable. We visited Fredi, Andrea, Peter and Bono in their four-bedroom shared apartment in Klagenfurt’s Waidmannsdorf district to ask about the advantages and disadvantages of sharing with other people.
The time has come: The temperatures are dropping below freezing, in the mornings and evenings you have to allow time to clear the car windows of ice, and cheerfully pedalling your bike is becoming ever more challenging. For those of you who feel the cold, we have some tips on how to make winters in Klagenfurt a little less chilly.
Ever since the Corona lock-down weeks, if not before, many have discovered our forests as places of recreation. The so-called “forest bathing” is considered a stress management method that helps to strengthen the immune system, lower adrenaline levels and relieve the cardiovascular system. In addition, there are the beneficial effects of exercising outdoors in the fresh air. Anyone who regularly walks through the forest in a mindful way, covering a distance of at least three kilometres and walking for an hour, paying attention to colours, light and details and consciously listening to the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves, will be doing themselves a great service. We scoured the forests around Klagenfurt for the best “bathing” spots.
Until 1514, the small town of Klagenfurt was virtually unheard of, then – more than 500 years ago – a devastating fire reduced the town to ashes, and this proved to be something of a godsend. The town was owned by Emperor Maximilian I, who was also the Archduke of Carinthia. To spare himself the cost of rebuilding the town, he gifted it to the Carinthian Provincial Estates in 1518. Klagenfurt then gained the status of a provincial town and was also made the new capital of Carinthia. The estates didn’t hesitate to splash out: By rebuilding Klagenfurt, they created the only ideal Renaissance city in modern-day Austria.
