Schlossbad am Wörthersee: Klagenfurt's green vision becomes a reality!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - On April 25, 2025, an ambitious project for Klagenfurt was presented, which the Wörtherseeufer could significantly change. A committed team presented a concept for the former Hotel Wörthersee Castle, which should not only serve as accommodation, but also represents a vision for sustainable and lively urban planning. This project is financed privately and with a lot of passion, which indicates the high level of commitment of those involved.

Klagenfurt also plans to create a palace bath, inspired by Graz 'Schlossberg. This initiative aims to upgrade the region and inspire visitors to a sustainable experience concept on Lake Wörthersee. The proposal to establish a Schlossbad Wörthersee stop directly on the shore illustrates the innovative approach to urban planning. The idea of getting in with swimming trunks in Vienna and swimming at Wörthersee could bloom a new tourism concept for the region.

Sustainable vision for Klagenfurt

A central aspect of this project is the planned sauna with a view of the Karawanken, which combines the enjoyment of nature with a modern wellness experience. The entire concept is based on sustainable energy and future -oriented urban planning, which takes into account the needs of citizens and the environment. Klagenfurt has also positioned itself as a finalist of the European Green Capital and could thus become a model for other cities that rely on sustainability.

As part of the European Green Deal, which focuses on the topics of sustainability, coincidence, cycling and gardening, cities have the opportunity to present innovative solutions to combat environmental problems. The EU Commission launched the "Green Capital of Europe" and "European Green Leaf Award" in 2008 to promote sustainable cities and to make outstanding solutions known. Youth Europe reports that winning cities act as "green city ambassaders".

challenges and solutions

Klagenfurt is well equipped for the desired award, since the city strives for long-term solutions for challenges such as air and water pollution as well as noise reduction. In the course of the selection process for the award, the cities must provide strict evidence of sustainable measures that have already been achieved and planned. This is done in twelve evaluation areas of environmental policy, which range from waste management to climate change.

With these initiatives, Klagenfurt could not only increase its attractiveness, but also set a sign of the importance of sustainable urban development in Europe. Linking tourism and environmental protection could serve as a model for other cities that want to take similar paths. A look into the future promises a greener and more livable city for everyone.
