November 25, 2024,Lichtergarten, Illumina Laxenburg

This year I found the installations very nice again, there are really many and the projection on the Franzensburg and the other shows were worth seeing.
It was also really pleasant and not overcrowded (there are time slots for entry)
Runs until January 12th.

Although the first few meters seemed a bit weak, as I progressed the displays got better and better, and they are truly spectacular. A mulled wine warmed me up halfway …
