    Hiking

    A fabulous burger experience in the Wachau. On the right bank of the Danube - on a steep cliff above the Danube - lies the Aggstein castle ruin, which has been lovingly revitalized in recent years and turned into a fabulous experience for its visitors. The Kuenringers already ruled here and there are many legends surrounding the so-called “rose garden”. Not only the fabulous view of the Danube valley or the Dunkelsteinerwald, but also the offer of the castle tavern, audio tours and the Nibelungen exhibition make a visit a fabulous experience for the whole family.

    Aggstein Castle is one of the landmarks of the Wachau region. It sits 300 meters above the Danube and offers stunning views.

    The interior of the spur castle, built on a towering rock, is also absolutely worth seeing.

    There is a tavern in the Bughof courtyard.
