Land- und Hauswirtschaftliche Fachschule, Bahnhofstr. 5, 5671 Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße

Bruck is located in the Pinzgau (a part of Land Salzburg), about 5 km south of Zell am See. The festival will take place in and around a school building. At the jugglers’ disposal will be a gym, a small soccer field and a meadow.

Bruck is located at the Westbahn, one of Austria’s main railway lines. So, it’s easy to get there by train, e.g. from Salzburg (city), Linz, Vienna, Klagenfurt, or, Innsbruck. In either case get off in station Bruck-Fusch

The train ride e.g. from Salzburg (city) will take about one and a half hour. If you want to attend this year’s European juggling convention and the Pinzgau convention (which would an excellent idea since there is only an interval of 3 days between these conventions), the train ride from Munich will take less than three and a half hours.

Bruck is located close to the Hohe Tauern National Park, covering a part of the Alps, where several of Austria’s highest mountains are to be found, e.g. the Großglockner (3798 m/12,461 ft) and the Großvenediger (3666 m/12,028 ft). Furthermore, Bruck is the starting point of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, climbing up to a height of 2,504 metres (8215 feet), providing excellent views into the national park.

So, it might be a good idea to combine your festival attendance with a stay in this area, e.g. walking through nice scenery, or, unicycling up the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. But, please, keep in mind that this is alpine area and several walking routes should be done only by trained and experienced mountaineers. Also, unicycling up the High Alpine Road is certainly a challenge. (But it has been done before, probably the first being the jugglers Christoph Habringer and Ilja Knippschild who unicycled in 1995 from Innsbruck to the Klagenfurt juggling festival in Carinthia. (For a report see Kaskade, iss. 39))
