11th Austrian Juggling Festival

When

Jun. 22-25, 2000

Where

Klagenfurt
Capital of Carinthia, Austria's most southern province, close to the Italian border. The festival will take place at: Schloss Welzenegg, Viktor Welzerplatz 1, 9020 Klagenfurt, around ATIK's Big Top. Schloss Welzenegg is a castle located east to the center of Klagenfurt. (Which also means that this year the festival is not happening close to the lake Wörthersee as it has been in the last years.)

How to get there:

By airplane/train: Vienna and Salzburg are international flight destinations. From both towns there are trains going frequently to Klagenfurt. Catch up your train in Vienna at the train station Südbahnhof (close to the subway station Südtirolerplatz, subway line U1), in Salzburg at the Hauptbahnhof. The train ride will take in both cases about 4 hours. There is also an airport in Klagenfurt, but with low traffic and expensive transfer tickets.
By car: The main highways to Klagenfurt are the Tauernautobahn and the Südautobahn.

How to find the festival place:

Coming by train: From the main train station take any bus line (which will be 40, 41 or 42) and change it at Heiligengeistplatz for line 60 (direction Steingasse). Ask where to get off for Castle Welzenegg. From there it's a short foot walk.
Coming by car: From wherever you are coming manage to get on the Südautobahn (A2). Leave it at the sign Klagenfurt Ost. Thus you will be lead into the Görtschitztalstraße. Follow it and turn off at Völkermarktstraße to the right (direction Klagenfurt). Turn off from Völkermarktstraße to the right at Görzer Allee (after you have passed the furniture shop KIKA). Follow it until you reach the Castle Welzenegg.
