About Klagenfurt


The city of Klagenfurt

Short Introduction to Klagenfurt

Klagenfurt is a hot tip for all seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter - the capital of Carinthia, Austria's southernmost province is always popular.

What about combining a visit to OR2002 with an unforgettable holiday in Klagenfurt or Carinthia?


There are so many things to do here, something for every taste. From culture to fun and recreation, from shopping to sport or simply just rest and relaxation. The Rose of Wörthersee (as Klagenfurt is called) presents many attractive and beautiful petals to her guests. The location on Wörthersee, the famous warmest Alpine lake of Europe and the mild, southern climate, have for many years been of great significance in making Klagenfurt a superior holiday destination.

In Summer, Europe's largest inland lake guarantees endless bathing fun and true holiday excitement. In Winter, the eastern part of the lake becomes a favourite skating rink and when it is exceptionally cold, the entire lake is transformed into the largest skating rink in Europe.

Everything blossoms and grows lush and green in Klagenfurt, the Carinthian capital city. Lavish parks in the centre of the city, cafes, restaurants, manicured gardens and chic boutiques with an exceptional range of products from which to choose to your heart's delight.

National parks, the superb Europa-park, a space planetarium, Europe's largest reptile zoo and an enormous variety of sporting facilities - Klagenfurt has something for every taste. In the Minimundus (mini-world) over 160 perfect miniature replicas of famous buildings from over the world, are a fascinating sight for visitors.
