territories formerly held by the Habsburg Holy Roman Empire for 844 years while Austria went in a different political direction following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Empire the case can be made that Austria gave as much to German beer culture as it took With a robust beer culture consisting of 70 large breweries and more than 100 small breweries and brewpubs Austria is skipping up my list of future travel destinations the more I read about it Wejwar also goes on to say that the Austrian beer industry is uniquely decentralized — again resembling Germany Half of the breweries are small and regional unlike in North America where large conglomerates control most of the market roughly 80 percent of beers are brewed by Anheuser-Busch With such a diverse Austrian beer market — unimpeded by German beer purity laws — clearly the Alps aren't the only thing worth discovering in the country And while Warren Miller films have had me itching to ski there for some time now a very special beer put Austria on my radar even earlier and a smooth sipper for 14% alcohol by volume 6 each year and lagered for at least ten months — leaving little residual sugar — before being released to retailers the next Christmas “Samichlaus” (Santa Claus in Swiss German) was brewed in Switzerland by the Hurlimann Brewery in Zurich but in 1999 the brand was acquired by the Eggenberg Brewery where beer has been produced since the 14th century Once considered the strongest beer in the world it is still fairly rare to find due to its seasonality dark place to store a couple of these bottles because they can be aged for many years — older vintages become more complex with a warm and make sure you at least have the time for a long fireside sipping session This week's recommendation: Samichlaus Classic Bier sweet-malted Doppelbock with notes of dark fruit Too many automated requests from this network the brewers of Samichlaus beer carry out a very special task on one day each December Austria's Schloss Eggenberg brewery prepares a batch of Samichlaus on Saint Nicholas's Day (December 6) and caramel that's ready for release the following winter the drink—a rich style of beer known as doppelbock—is sweet Europeans once knew Samichlaus as the strongest beer in the world a scientist and yeast specialist named Albert Hürlimann discovered a strain of brewing yeast with an unusually high resistance to alcohol which became known as the Hürlimann strain He opened a dozen or so breweries that offered increasingly potent beers but it took more than two decades to perfect the recipe that would eventually become Samichlaus the doppelbock became Hürlimann Brewery's staple offering the business remained in the family until 1996 when it merged with another Swiss company and Hürlimann Brewery closed for good in 1997 But that wasn't the end of Samichlaus: Its brewers still team up with Eggenberg once a year to produce their annual batch of Samichlaus each December The company now touts the beverage as \"the world’s most extraordinary,\" as its strength has since been surpassed by more extreme beers Austria’s Schloss Eggenberg brewery prepares a batch of Samichlaus

Committee meeting in Brasilia has today approved extensions to three cultural sites in Austria The approved extensions include (in order of inscription): City of Graz - Historic Centre and Schloss Eggenberg (Austria) (extension of "City of Graz - Historic Centre") Graz is an exemplary model of the living heritage of a central European urban complex influenced by the secular presence of the Habsburgs The site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1999 located about three kilometres west of the historic centre of Graz as the state residence of Duke Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg (1568-1634) one of the most prominent political personalities of 17th-century Austria Schloss Eggenberg is an exceptionally well-preserved example which bears witness through its architecture and external decoration to the influence of the late Italian Renaissance and the Baroque period Church of the Resurrection of Suceviţa Monastery (Romania) (extension of the "Churches of Moldavia") With their exterior walls entirely covered in 15th- and 16th- century fresco paintings these seven churches in northern Moldavia are unique in Europe These paintings form a systematic covering of all the facades and their exceptional composition and the harmony of the colours blend perfectly with the surrounding countryside The Churches of Moldavia were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1993 The Church of the Suceviţa Monastery completes this complex Its interior and exterior walls are entirely decorated with mural paintings of the late 16th century It is situated within the fortified enclosure of the Monastery and is the only one to show a representation of the ladder of St John Climacus Paleolithic Rock-Art Ensemble in Siega Verde (Spain) (extension of "Prehistoric Rock Art Sites in the Côa Valley" (Portugal)) The Prehistoric rock-art ensemble in the Côa Valley inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1998 is an exceptional concentration of rock carvings from the Upper Palaeolithic (22,000-10,000 B.C.) and is on a scale that makes it the most outstanding example of early human artistic activity in this form anywhere in the world in the Castilla y León region (Spain) The 645 engravings were made on an impressive cliff although some schematic and geometric figures have also been identified The prehistoric rock-art sites of the Côa Valley and Siega Verde represent the most remarkable open-air ensemble of Palaeolithic art on the Iberian Peninsula These sites are in addition to 17 other mixed and cultural sites inscribed or extended during the current session of the Committee in Sri Lanka The 34th session of the World Heritage Committee is being held under the chairmanship of the Minister of Culture from Brazil The meeting opened on 25 July and will continue

interest in seeing Those people should promptly have a pot of lukewarm dumpling water poured over their head There is so much more to the Czech Republic than Prague And what did I find out about Cesky Krumlov when I was there well I suppose I could wax poetic about how Cesky Krumlov is "a sleepy town whose medieval center is nestled within the bosom of the serpentine Vlatva River" or maybe spin the standard yawn-inducing yarn about how Cesky Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with something called "Baroque" inside of it and a handful of enchanting riverside cafes on its fringes but when I look back on my four nights in Cesky Krumlov the highlight for me was drinking a delicious nectar called "yeasty beer." Lots and lots of yeasty beer - so much that I still dream about it to this day I'm just going to go ahead and talk about that What's the story with this yeasty beer you ask located right in the middle of Cesky Krumlov Eggenberg dates back to the 1600s and is a point of pride for the entire town Eggenberg's beer varieties are found in taps and at bottle shops all over Cesky Krumlov and the greater Czech Republic but once their unfiltered yeasty lager was suggested to me by an intrepid bartender I never strayed from ordering it the rest of my time in Cesky Krumlov Eggenberg even claims on their website that due to the fact the beer is unfiltered there's a myriad of vitamins and other "substances beneficial to the human organism." You can't go wrong with something that's beneficial to the human organism where's the best place in Cesky Krumlov to drink the yeasty brew Eggenberg yeasty lager can be found all over town but sipping it at the Eggenberg brewery itself is hands down the the best place to drink it The Eggenberg Brewery offers the standard kitschy combination of a well-organized tour and beerhall serving traditional Czech food and their beer to the masses But I've got a little insider tip for you: inside the brewery building is not the best place to drink beer at the brewery you will find a little wooden shack laden with locals sipping fresh brewed suds riverside Resembling the concession stand at your local youth sporting field this shack has a few of the brewery's beers on tap including the yeasty lager when it's fresh brewed local life you just won't get inside the bustling brewery building and for a few Czech Korunas cheaper For the latest travel news, updates and deals, subscribe to the daily TravelPulse newsletter.

It's a Bohemian beauty, tucked into a horseshoe bend on the Vltava River, with interesting architecture, an enormous castle and a nearby national park. But here's something Cesky Krumlov has that you don't find in most historic cities: live bears in the dry moat surrounding the castle. And visiting the town of Cesky Krumlov this year offers an extra benefit: It's the year of the Rosenbergs, who reigned over southern Bohemia for around 400 years. The family's last male heir died in 1611, and special exhibitions and events are planned all year to honor the family, including tours of Rosenberg sites, museum exhibits and extended festivals. The castle is one of those Rosenberg sites. A huge two-story arched bridge connects parts of it with Baroque gardens, a terrace and a rococo cascade fountain. Inside, the castle is well-preserved and restored with period furnishings, musical instruments, armor, artwork and ornately painted and carved ceilings and walls. From the castle I made my way down into the town's historic center. Cesky Krumlov was built in the late 13th century and most of the architecture in the older part of town dates from 14th through 17th centuries. A walk on the stone streets, through the archways and along side the shops, galleries, and restaurants takes you back to those centuries where Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles blend with the Medieval. Amid the narrow stone streets, painted walls and frescos, you'll find redroofed buildings and pedestrians shopping, working or checking out the sites. People are friendly, many speak English, and they seem eager to talk to visitors. One of the most interesting places is a Baroque theater that dates back to the late 1600s. It has its original wall and ceiling murals, stage, props and ancient machinery used for complicated scene changes. This is still a working theater that's open to the public from May until the end of October. A Baroque opera plays there twice a year. Outside the buildings are courtyards decorated with more murals and frescos, and faux stones painted with such good perspective and depth that you'd swear they were real. The historic area fell into disrepair during the communist era of Czechoslovakia, but restoration and preservation work in recent years has earned it acclaim. In addition to the citation from UNESCO, National Geographic calls it "one of the most beautiful historic destinations in the world." Here and there you'll find a touch of modern whimsy. I saw one small doorway in a courtyard blocked off with red and gray sculpted fingers topped by rope. It showed a great sense of humor and a blending of old and new that somehow made history seem more alive. Despite the town's tourism industry, it is remarkably free of kitschy souvenirs. Instead you're likely to find a jewelry store selling Bohemian garnet, a fascinating and somewhat haunting marionette museum, art galleries, antique shops, a casino, coffee shops, pubs, and a large selection of restaurants featuring traditional pork dishes, sausages, honey cakes, potato dumplings and strudels. But not everyone comes to the area just to soak up history. For some it's about the beautiful natural surroundings. Sumava National Park, near the Czech borders with Germany and Austria is set amid forests, lakes, rivers and alpine meadows. In the winter it offers both downhill and cross country skiing, ice skating and ice sailing. When the weather is warmer there's boating, other water sports, hiking, biking and horseback riding. At nearby manmade Lake Lipno you can boat over to other small towns or stop at the dam, which has a hydroelectric power plant. If you like beer, there are several interesting breweries. Aside from making "brew," the Eggenberg brewery in Cesky Krumlov has also been used as a site for several films. And in nearby Cesky Budejovice, the original Budweiser brewery is located, though it's not affiliated with the U.S. beer company by the same name. Do you want to increase contrast of page content for better readability? The public transport network in Graz will be further expanded in 2025. At the same time, the infrastructure in the areas of water, energy and district heating will also be improved. You can find all information on the construction projects here. As part of the inner city relief and completion of the Neutor line, extensive work will be carried out on the routes to the west of Graz this year, which will also lead to improvements in the future. Every day, Graz Linien brings more than 300,000 passengers safely to their destination. The number of public transport users has been rising for years – apart from the Corona stopovers – and will continue to do so in the coming years due to population growth and infrastructure projects in the Mur metropolis. The consequence of this development: public transport and with it modern mobility services in Graz will be further expanded! This course is currently being set. At present, all streetcar lines run via Hauptplatz, through Herrengasse to Jakominiplatz and vice versa. It is hardly possible to run additional streetcars through the bottleneck at the Iron Gate. Interval densification is therefore impossible. In addition, events, demonstrations and the like cause disruptions and even temporary suspension of streetcar services on all six lines in Herrengasse. A large part of the construction work has already been completed (Neutorgasse and Tegetthoffbrücke), but work is still ongoing in Belgiergasse, Vorbeckgasse and at the rail connection to Annenstraße. This siding requires a rail replacement service from May until the start of school in September – more information can be found here! Below you will find photos of the work on the Tegetthoffbrücke! As part of the inner city relief project, public transport capacities are being expanded and, in the course of this, depot 3 in Eggenberg must also be adapted accordingly for the 15 new, long streetcars. The construction project includes the adaptation of the existing hall, the construction of a new streetcar wash hall and the construction of the stabling facilities in two expansion stages as well as the renovation of the existing track systems in the final stage by 2026. The depot 3 is in operation during the entire construction period with selective restrictions. The first preparatory construction work for the expansion began on 4.3. In March, tree pruning was carried out in the area of the former allotment gardens (a total of 3 trees requiring approval, which will also be replanted). The underpass area of the local transport hub (Nahverkehrsdrehscheibe/NVD) is being renovated and cleaned, and the track arches at the underground streetcar stop are being replaced. Track systems have a different service life depending on the geometry and the load (number of passages). While straight tracks last up to 50 years, it is significantly shorter for narrow track curves and switches with heavy traffic. Here, the service life is between 10 and 15 years. This is why Graz Linien is now replacing the track arches in the NVD during the period in which a rail replacement service is necessary anyway due to the track connection of the Neutor line in Annenstraße. The work will be carried out between May 24 and July 4, during which time the rail replacement service will run above ground via the main station, while replacement buses will be able to use the NVD during the summer vacations. Currently, streetcar line 1 is operated on average at 10-minute intervals. One of the reasons for this is that the streetcars only have access to one track over a length of 900 meters in Hilmteichstraße. Construction is scheduled to start at the end of 2025/beginning of 2026, the first streetcar should be back on track in December 2027 and the project will be completed in June 2028. In addition to the double-track extension: All of this work will be carried out during the rail replacement service – a lot of work will be combined in order to minimize major traffic disruptions in subsequent years Asperngasse – Eggenberger Straße: Holen Sie sich mit unserem Newsletter monatlich Infos, Angebote, Veranstaltungstipps und Gewinnspiele rund um Ihre Stadt.

its large roof and clock face giving it a uniquely romantic and charming look Many people visit the clock tower not just because of the tower itself but because it is situated in the beautiful Schlosspark The Uhrturm also doubles as a bell tower and features several large bells Graz offers history-lovers a special attraction What makes it so interesting is that it is considered the world’s oldest armory holding more than 32,000 weapons The Styrian Armoury once served to equip the forces fighting the Ottoman Empire and is today a major tourist attraction Landeszeughaus is located only a few steps away from the Hauptplatz and can easily be reached on foot when visiting some of the other sights of central Graz Keep in mind that the armory is closed on Monday Schloss Eggenberg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been perfectly conserved over the last centuries allowing visitors a glimpse of the luxurious past of Austria’s royal residences The highlight of Schloss Eggenberg is the so-called Planetary Room which was built in the 17th century and features unbelievably luxurious chandeliers and wall decorations Some of the paintings found here are of immense cultural value The Schloss is located on the city’s western outskirts and is surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden There are few better places in Austria than Schloss Eggenberg if you are eager to dive into Europe’s royal past The Doppelwendeltreppe is a very unique architectural site located in the Burg of Graz (the city’s main castle) these unique staircases almost seem like an optical illusion but they are very much real They consist of two separate staircases that briefly merge on each floor before parting ways again These double spiral staircases were built in the 15th century and were a real engineering marvel in this era The site is open to the public and very much worth checking out The Basilika Mariatrost is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in Austria and is considered one of the religious highlights of Graz and a symbol of Christianity.  It is located on Purberg Hill reaching 469 m above sea level and offers a great panorama of the surrounding villages and forests The
