The Alt-Gleichenberg Castle was a castle owned by the Lords of Riegersburg-Wildon on a ridge to the left of the Klausenbach in what is now the municipality of Bad Gleichenberg in Styria. Remains of the Alt-Gleichenberg Castle, called Meixnerstube, can be found in today's dry biotope nature reserve at the Klausen quarry.

Be careful when climbing here its steep and nasty. Yes, you will have to climb. There are a lot of huge fallen trees trunks cought up on rocks, take care not to disturb them, you dont want it all to fall on you and take you with it downhill. This place is off-road and hard to find. Unfortunately there is not much left of it. During the centuries it slowly crumbled and you can find stones around the area. There is still something left so its wort the effort to see. Foundation are all over the hill side and some stones are left. This must have been a grand fortress in the old days, im happy to have seen it.
