Minimundus, Austria

In Austria, the most interesting park of miniatures is to be found in the city of Klagenfurt. It covers an area of 26000 square meters and presents to the attention of visitors 150 mini-copies of outstanding world sights at a scale of 1:25. About half of park models are dedicated directly to Austria, except for the copies of architectural structures. There are incredibly beautiful canals and rivers, along which ships sail, as well as a railway with trains in the park.

Here you can see a lot of unique layouts. Just at the entrance a huge mock globe meets visitors. Nearby, is an artificial pond, along which ships sail. If you look closely, you can see real live fish in the pond. Among other models, it is worth noting a copy of the Statue of Liberty, the Greek temple Parthenon, as well as a copy of the Church of the Holy Family, which is located in Barcelona.

Opening of the Minimudus park took place in 1958. Its founder is a local adviser Peter Zoyer. Since the opening until 1977, the park area has been only 15000 square meters. After a massive expansion, it was almost doubled and today it is 26000 square meters. Since the opening, the Minimudus park cooperates with the "Rettet das Kind" charitable foundation. All proceeds from visiting the park are transferred to its account. Travellers are recommended to visit the most interesting park of miniatures in the period from April to October. It is considered one of the most interesting of its kind and is ideal for visiting with children. Next - Bekonscot model village
