Hiking

The Lindwurm Fountain on Neuer Platz is Klagenfurt's most famous landmark. The chlorite slate figure was created at the end of the 16th century and commemorates the legend of the defeated Lindwurm. The fountain basin, wrought iron railing, and Hercules statue were added later. The fountain has been restored and relocated several times, most recently in 1972. Today, it stands as a symbol of history, myth, and identity in the heart of the city.

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.
