Man wins contest to live as hermit in Austrian town
A 58-year-old Belgian national has won a contest to live as a hermit in a cliffside cell above a town in Austria. Stan Vanuytrecht, a former artillery officer, will move into the 350-year-old Saalfelden hermitage this month as he defeated 49 other candidates for the position. The position is unpaid and isolated, with no heating, running water or internet.
