Hiking

Rechenstein Castle can be clearly seen from the Trift barrier below. Once you've climbed the stairs and path to the top, you can get a closer look at the castle.

The Reschenstein Castle (also commonly referred to as the Stockbauer Tower) is a castle on a narrow rocky ridge above the Trift Barrier near Passau-Hals. It is almost completely hidden by tall trees - only the Reschenstein keep can be seen from both the Triftsperre and the Riesaus. The building is now privately owned and cannot be visited.

First mentioned before 1384.
