Whether it is storming, heavy rain is battering the countryside or other disasters strike: The emergency services are always there for us, are equipped for all possible scenarios and know no duty or rest periods. The country wants to thank them: they are invited to the star night.

As the one-year-old Labrador Iven needs breaks between training sessions - he is being trained to search areas, for example for fallen mushroom pickers - his master Bernhard Novak from the rescue dog brigade can also spend an evening with music and friends. With such a special evening, the state of Carinthia wants to say thank you to all emergency services. 

"Natural disasters affect us. According to a Swiss study, we are the country that has suffered the fourth most damage. And yet there are people you can always count on. Our emergency services," says Provincial Councillor Daniel Fellner, who is also responsible for disaster control, fire and rescue services, expressing his gratitude.

In Gerfried Zmölnig, Managing Director and shareholder of "ip media marketing GmbH", he has found a partner for such an evening of thanks, for an evening on which the emergency services are also to be taken out of their everyday lives. At the Star Night at Lake Wörthersee.

If there is more interest, then we'll look further...", says Fellner.
