St. Veit was recognized as the winner of the Kärnten radelt 2024 campaign

Good news for the municipality of St. Veit: it was the winner in several categories in the nationwide initiative “Kärnten radelt 2024”. This participatory campaign aims to promote cycling within Carinthian communities and encourage more people to switch to cycling. With the focus on sustainable mobility and health, the event attracted numerous participants who actively contributed.

The municipality category had particularly strong competition, as many places in Carinthia are known for their cycling efforts. The jury had the task of determining the best results and the greatest effort. St. Veit was able to stand out with its innovative concepts to promote cycling, which was also reflected in the number of kilometers cycled by its citizens.

Awards for companies and schools

In addition to the award for best municipality, the most outstanding participants were also identified in the categories of companies, clubs and educational institutions. The campaign showed how diverse commitment to cycling can be. Many companies in the region have launched programs to encourage their employees to use bicycles as their main means of transport. This not only contributes to the health of employees, but also promotes a positive working atmosphere.

Educational institutions have also actively participated and organized events to get students excited about cycling. This not only strengthens traffic education, but also raises awareness of environmentally friendly means of transport.

The successes of St. Veit and other actors from the region show that community projects and such initiatives can effectively help promote awareness of sustainability and a healthy lifestyle. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.meinbezirk.at.
