After centuries of decay, the ruins were painstakingly restored thanks to the dedication of Dr. Karl Leitner and today shine in their historic splendor. On the grounds, you'll find remnants of walls, towers with viewing platforms, and insights into the lives of former lords. Further information and fascinating background information on the castle's history can be found on the website of the Friends of Losenheim Castle Ruins Association: burgruine-losenheim.at.

Hiking

Groups (5 or more people) can visit the castle by prior arrangement. Information can be found on a board at the foot of the castle or here: burgruine-losenheim.at. I can't say whether the visit is worthwhile, though; I haven't had the chance yet.
