Tips
The Lindwurm Fountain is the landmark and heraldic animal of Klagenfurt. The Lindwurm is usually bipedal, but four or more legs are also possible. It resembles a dragon and is sometimes considered a subspecies. It has no or only short wings and is primarily mentioned in old Germanic legends. Lindwurms usually have a long tail and short legs, and are sometimes described as man-eating. The "dragon" Fafnir of the Nibelungen saga is a Lindwurm.
