BEACHZONE Villach: For the next two weeks, the town hall square will be transformed into a beach volleyball court. Young and old, professionals and amateurs can hit the ball to their heart's content.

Summer is known for its many construction sites in city centers - and in Villach's city center, right in front of the town hall, there will soon be some digging going on. From 14 to 28 August, the town hall square will be the venue for the BEACHZONE Villach for the first time - 150 tons of sand will be piled up and a 24 x 14 metre beach volleyball court will be built on top.

Whether young or old, professional or amateur, everyone can hit (and bounce) to their heart's content - simply reserve your spot here. If you want to get a little help from the pros, you have several opportunities to do so: you can register for free workshops and training sessions on the website.

If you want, you can get tips from the pros.(Bild: Beachzone Villach)
