Hartenstein Castle is perched on a hill in a loop of the Kleine Krems. Its origin is in the Middle Ages. What looks like a well-preserved typical castle for today's viewers is the outer castle, which was converted in the historicizing style at the end of the 19th century. You can only see the castle from a distance.

Hiking

Wonderful landscape.
The climb to the Stone Hall is challenging.

An impressive castle above the Krems valley, unfortunately not open to the public. Below is the Gudenus Cave, which was already inhabited by the Neanderthals.
