Since yesterday and iirc until this Sunday public transport is free in #Carinthia. All of a sudden all regional trains between Klagenfurt and Spittal are full 🤣

After finishing a three-volume collection of folk tales from Bavaria, I discovered this collection from #Carinthia / #Kärnten (in #Austria ).

I enjoyed the prior collections of folk tales from Austria which I have read, so I have high hopes for this one.

Zug rammt unbesetztes Auto in Kärnten

Ein 55-Jähriger blieb mit seinem Auto auf den Gleisen stecken. Versuche, den Pkw wegzuschieben, schlugen fehl. Das Auto fing nach dem Crash an zu brennen. Verletzt wurde niemand.

Hiking near Garnitzenklamm in the Carnic Alps. There was a colony of alpine swifts nesting just below the cliffs here, quite spectacular. #garnitzenklamm #gailtal #Kärnten #Carinthia #austria #osterreich #mountains #Alps #alpineviews #mountainview #MountainAdventure

Well, I know, but given Austria's history, this is not a minor event. Sending a heavily armed police unit to a youth camp at a museum (!) was absolutely disproportionate. There are people who make the claim that it was meant to distract from the Nazi marches in Vienna and to try to escalate a situation to have the usual suspects for "extreme left violence".

Here is a quite accurate account of what happened in Carinthia yesterday, in English

In #Carinthia #Kärnten #Koroška 🇦🇹 for a bike ride. 🚴
And with #ÖBB (📷 ⬇️) for the way back to this morning‘s departure point. The bike also goes on the train. Plenty of bike space on this Siemens Desiro S-Bahn unit.
#BookologyThursday: There is a legend that there was once a large lake where the #Loibltal in #Carinthia opens today. But one day, on the advice of a mountain gnome, a charcoal burner set out to penetrate deep into the earth, where a #Lindworm was guarding a great treasure. But instead of just taking a few gems, the man got greedy and stole his golden egg from the dragon. When the mighty creature noticed this, it raged so terribly that the mountains split and the lake flowed through the resulting gorge.
