Institution turns 100

From the KAC ripcord to the show-off area

The heatwave has hit Austria and Carinthia is at the center of it all: the sunny paradise is a vacation destination for millions of guests. In Klagenfurt, the lido is a meeting place for locals and holidaymakers - and has been for 100 years. Everything has its exact order there. For decades.

When you visit the Klagenfurt lido, you end up in a city of its own. There is a place for every phase of life. This year, this "town" with its 12,000 "inhabitants" is celebrating its 100th birthday. Its own "mayor" is also celebrating. As soon as you enter the lido, you know where you're going - everything is clearly laid out.
