    Hiking

    I visited Greifenstein Castle as part of my dwarf mountain tour series. My goal is to climb every mountain in the Vienna Woods. Find my tours here: komoot.com/de-de/collection/2517195/-zwergbergtouren-im-wienerwald

    The castle was probably built in the 11th century by the feudal lord, the Bishopric of Passau. However, it is possible that a watchtower already stood on this prominent terrain point during Roman times.[1][2][3]

    The castle was an important link in the defence system on the Danube. Its beacon station enabled the exchange of messages with both Kreuzenstein and Leopoldsberg.
