The shop area, which has been vacant for several years, is being transformed into an open, light-filled space in the town center with a chill-out area, projector, workspaces for the LML team, new kitchen, and sanitary facilities—all barrier-free and ready for exchange, ideas, and encounters.

The pictures show how vacant space is being turned into a space of possibility.

This year, there will be several events on rural mobility infrastructure and the reuse of vacant properties such as the gas station in Langau – stay tuned!

Thanks to Mayor Daniel Mayerhofer and Karin Gutmann, representing the municipality of Langau and Landjugend Langau, for the great cooperation!
