Another Graz landmark built to commemorate the city being granted the role of European Capital of Culture in 2003 is a man-made island known as the Murinsel.
Made entirely of steel and resembling a large upside-down seashell, it's really a 47-meter-long floating island in the middle of the River Mur that's tethered to its banks by two footbridges.
The middle section consists of a unique amphitheater used for concerts and other events, as well as a café and a children's playground with a rope maze and slide.
