A few impressions from the Weihnachtsmarkt #Klagenfurt in #Carinthia we could visit today using the brand new train connection from #Graz 🤩

The people of #Carinthia had an interesting approach to stopping storms: They shot at the clouds using rifles stuffed with blessed bullets or powder.

Since the storms were created by weather witches or mages, the blessed items would immediately stop their magics and thus the storm.
