High above Klagenfurt, the Kreuzbergl Church stands on a green hill. Since the 17th century, people have come here to pray, reflect, or simply enjoy the view. The church, with its striking tower, is surrounded by ancient trees, and those who take the path up are rewarded with peace and panoramic views.

Beyond the Horizon

July 12, 2025

Just a few minutes from the center of Klagenfurt, and yet with every step through the Villach suburbs, you seem to gain a little distance from everyday life. At the Kreuzbergl, the city begins to stretch towards the sky. And at the very top, it sits enthroned, the small baroque church with its two red onion domes – as if someone had dabbed two drops of blood onto a mustard yellow.

The view? Majestic. The Karawanks like a painted backdrop, the roofs of the city at your feet, and above, nothing but sky. But the real experience lies beyond the church: the Stations of the Cross. A few steps, three crosses – and suddenly it's quiet. No more cars, no more strolling, no more shops. Only the foliage above you and the shadow of the centuries.

When you sit down, the wind whispers to you. Of the city that is changing and of what remains. Of the burden that everyone carries – and of the grace of pausing for a moment. Perhaps that's the secret of Kreuzberg: that it doesn't tower over you, but rather meets you at eye level. With vision, yes – but without arrogance.
