Between Vienna and Graz is a thermal spa designed by Hundertwasser.

|

A theater built in the old fortress, with the cannon casemates transformed into box seats.

Between the ground level and the clock tower, the elevator stops at a chapel and a performance space, both carved out of the hill.

Warning! Alien-infested art gallery!

Beyond these hills: Yugoslavia.
