A “train and bike” tour today, in #Austria’s 🇦🇹 very South.
This is the, German and Slovenian speaking, bilingual part of #Carinthia #Kärnten #Koroška: we see that the priest’s parking lot at the #Ledenitzen #Ledince funeral parlour is labelled “Pfarrer - Župnik”.
The beautiful stained glass windows representing the “Kreuzweg” “Križev pot” Way of the Cross are the work of Valentin Oman, an artist deeply rooted in the region.
And there was a coffee stop by the roadside, obviously.
Goldene Stunde über dem Drau- und Lavanttal. Wenn die Sonne hinter den Kärntner Bergen versinkt und das Tal in warmes Licht taucht, fühlt sich die Welt für einen Moment ganz still an. Zwischen Fluss, Wäldern und sanften Hügeln zeigt sich die Natur hier von ihrer schönsten Seite.

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.
