Say hello to my warm friend Erika. She has given me the kind permission to post some pictures of herself and her life. Erika is a very heartful personality, so kind and helpful. It is difficult to present her good nature only using words and pictures. Common to many, maybe the good Austrian classical music of Mozart, and delightful Austrian & Slowenian dishes, can let you feel her friendly nature a little closer.

Erika Lamplmair lives in the vicinity of Velden, a city located on the beach-line of the beautiful lake Wörthersee in Carinthia, Austria. While many institutions tell you the most livable city in the world is Melbourne, I honestly believe they have missed some points. Velden has a very high standard of living, excellent medical and education facilities, excellent clean waters and mountains which offer wonderful recreation, well maintained infrastructure and good supply of utilities with shops and businesses. The next large city is Klagenfurt with a good airport.

Here are a few impressions of the Wörthersee and Carinthia in Austria. You may recall Austria as being the beautiful country of Salzburg and Vienna but also Innsbruck and Bad Ischl. Below you see the Schloss am Wörthersee which is a hotel in the town of Velden where Erika lives.

Below you can see the "Pyramidenkogel" observation tower, it is situated at the top of the 850-meters-high Pyramidenkogel mountain, near Klagenfurt, the capital of Austria’s southernmost state Carinthia. It was completed in 2013 with a total height of 100m and it is the highest wooden tower in the world. The helix-shaped tower is a brilliant example of Austrian structural engineering.

Erika, also called "Rikki" and "Ricki", she is a balneo and massage therapist who also offers highly recognised massage therapy. Her therapy is well established in the area, where swimming and sunshine are part of the Carinthian and Austrian way of life.

Erika enjoys the sun and does a lot of fitness training, often sun-bathing. She has connected her hobby with her job as an independent entrepreneur. Sports, wellness, physical fitness and positive thought energy all find their focal point in a balanced private life and fully understanding general physical therapy when at work. She spends a lot of time with water sports on the lake Wörthersee, and keeping fit and trimming.

---

The result of regular training is:
A perfectly maintained body and peaceful mind.

---

During the watersport season, Erika spends her recreational time at the lake, together with her long partner, with friends and family.
