2. CINEMA: THE PREMIER OF TARTARUS, A HISTORIC EPIC
November sees the release of a much-awaited film in Austrian cinemas: Tartarus (www.tartarus.at). The story begins in 1813 and features one of the Napoleonic battles fought in Styria. It's an unusual film because it unites the cinematographic genres of history, horror and romance.
3. WELLBEING: THE WOOD OF THE STONE-PINE
Bad Kleinkirchheim is a renowned location for Alpine healthiness and wellbeing. Its secret? Stone-pine wood. With its positive effects, this wood contributes in a fundamental way to good health. Stone-pine wood is even able to lower the heart rate when a person is under physical and mental duress. Its positive effects on the heart have been proved scientifically. On average, you "save" 3,500 beats everyday, which amounts to an hour-long cardiac workout.
4. MEDIA: RADIO Ö3 AND ATV
The following radio stations are cult hits among young Austrians: Hitradio Ö 3, oe3.orf.at, and the new TV channel: ATV - (atv.at).
5. PILLARS OF MUSIC: CHRISTINA STÜRMER AND ÖTZI
They might not be new to the scene, but they're two genuine institutions of Austrian pop music: Christina Stürmer and DJ Ötzi, the king of disco. DJ Ötzi was the first Austrian artist to be awarded with a platinum disc in England.
