Klagenfurt

Klagenfurt lies along the Glan River, between Lake Wörthersee and the foothills leading toward the Karawanks. Carinthia’s capital combines a compact Renaissance-era centre with a lakeside setting shaped by Wörthersee, the region’s largest lake. Neuer Platz is marked by the Lindwurm fountain, a dragon sculpture installed in 1593 that has become the city’s emblem. Nearby Alter Platz and the Landhaus retain arcaded courtyards and civic architecture from the period when Klagenfurt was rebuilt after a 16th-century fire. In summer, Wörthersee’s promenades, bathing areas and boat traffic connect urban life with the water. Browse other webcams across Carinthia to place Klagenfurt in a wider geographic context.
