ORF is looking for "9 places - 9 treasures" again
The national holiday is "9 Places - 9 Treasures" day - and this is already the ninth time: The search for the most beautiful place of the year once again ensures ratings beyond the million mark when Armin Assinger, together with Barbara Karlich and the presenters of the nine ORF regional studios and numerous celebrities from the provinces, chooses Austria's most beautiful hidden place. So far, this has been found with the Green Lake in Tragöß, Styria (2014), the Formarinsee and the Rote Wand in Vorarlberg (2015), the Tyrolean Kaisertal (2016), the Vorarlberger Körbersee (2017), the Schiederweiher in Upper Austria (2018), the Lünersee in Vorarlberg (2019), the Strutz Mill in Styria (2020) and most recently the Wiegensee in Vorarlberg. Countless other domestic treasures are still waiting to be discovered - which is why "9 Places - 9 Treasures" will be presented once again on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. on ORF 2 in the ORF TV show of the same name.
Friedenskircherl on the Stoderzinken
A chapel between mountain and sky
It has touched poets, comforted believers and given hikers heavenly memories: the Friedenskircherl on the Stoderzinken. At an altitude of 1,898 meters above sea level, the chapel was built 120 years ago in the municipality of Aich in the Liezen district - with the aim of bringing people together. No matter who they are or what they believe in.
