    Virtual Klagenfurt – Streetview in Carinthia (Austria)

    2

    Klagenfurt is the capital of the federal state of Carinthia (where I live) in Austria. It has a population of over 90,000 people, making it the sixth-largest city in the country. Klagenfurt is also a host city of the EURO 2008 which will take place next month in Switzerland and Austria. Now there is a cool new service simmilar to Google’s Streetview available, where you can see georeferenced Panoramas of the city. The great thing here is that there are also photos of walking areas available.

    Screenshot of the Site:

    If you are interested you can also see it live at http://www.virtual-klagenfurt.at/

    Unfortunately there is no information who has implemented this service. But I suggest this is a private project. The service is also relatively new therefore users have the posibillity to report errors.
