European Capital of Culture 2023 Opening in Styrian Region with Snow Chaos and Champion of the Year

After Graz in 2003, this time a Styrian region is part of the European Capital of Culture – the opening is tomorrow. The fresh snow also caused chaos on the streets. Furthermore, a young Styrian woman was named “Champion of the Year”.

STYRIA. On Saturday, January 20th, the European Capital of Culture year will start in Bad Ischl. In addition to 19 municipalities from Upper Austria, four municipalities from the Styrian Salzkammergut are also taking part. The Bad Mitterndorf song contest winner Tom Neuwirth alias Conchita Wurst appears at the opening show.

Snowfall caused highway closures

There was 15 centimeters of fresh snow on the Pack and Hebalm today. On the Carinthian side, the snow on the A2 southern motorway caused turbulence. The highway was closed for two hours and no diversion was possible. Several trucks that got stuck meant that the Unterwald motorway maintenance department also had to help out with two clearing vehicles.

Whooping cough is on the rise again across Austria. The number of cases is also rising significantly again in Styria. You can read about the symptoms of the infectious disease, which groups of people it can be particularly dangerous for and how you can best protect yourself in the article below.

She leaves everyone behind

“Make a career doing a craft you enjoy.” Christina Strauß from St. Nikolai im Sausal managed to do this. The South Styrian woman was named “Champion of the Year” by the Styrian Chamber of Commerce.

The weather on Saturday

Although the sun will dominate the weather on Saturday, the temperatures in many places during the day, especially in Upper Styria, will not be above zero. For anyone who needs (or wants) to go outside, it is advisable to protect yourself well against the cold.
