Excursion ideas for the national holiday in Carinthia

On October 26, we celebrate National Holiday Day in Austria. Numerous museums and excursion destinations in Carinthia offer variety and entertainment for this reason - often free of charge!

It is not only at Heldenplatz in Vienna that heavy military equipment will be on display today, on National Day. The Bunker Museum on the Wurzen Pass also attracts visitors with a "wheel and track parade". Historical tanks and vintage military vehicles will be on display - for visitors to see, but also for guests to ride in! As a "culinary extra", there will be "delicious cannon goulash from the field kitchen", frankfurters and vegan chili-sin-carne.

The museums and galleries offer high culture and free admission. In the Stadtgalerie Klagenfurt, visitors can discover the exhibition "Hans Bischoffshausen - Timeless Appearance Radical Openness". In the associated Living Studio, Daniel Hill presents the results of his five-month scholarship for photography and media art from the state of Carinthia and the city of Klagenfurt.

In the Alpen-Adria-Galerie Klagenfurt, Bogdan Borčić and Rudi Benétik offer a glimpse into completely new worlds with their exhibition "Emotional Worlds | Čustveni svetovi | Mondi emotivi".

And if you prefer something a little more sporty, you can hike the Tscheppaschlucht gorge (8.30 am to 5 pm) at the traditional end of the season - barrier-free parking is still possible and the photo point at the Teufelsbrücke bridge is also still active.
