    Visible from afar, the Staatz ruins rise up on the approximately 100 meter high rock cone on the Laa plain.
    The Staatzer Berg belongs to the Waschberg zone, which divides the Weinviertel in a north-south direction. The mighty limestone cliffs form the most characteristic geological unit of the Weinviertel, which can only be found here, in Falkenstein and in the adjacent South Moravia.
    A castle was built on the summit of the Staatzer Berg in the course of the planned settlement of the Weinviertel in the 11th century. It was destroyed in 1645 by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. Parts of the castle were demolished for the construction of the new palace. Since then the ruins have fallen into disrepair. The Staatzer Berg has been owned by the municipality since the 1950s. The mountain and ruin can therefore be visited all year round.
    Regular guided hikes to the ruins from May to October (every Sunday, 3 p.m.) familiarize you with the history of the region, which is closely linked to the development of the Weinviertel. The hike takes about 1.5 hours and can be booked for 2 or more people.


    A Betty Bernstein family hike is offered every last Sunday of the month at 3 p.m.
    The rock stage Staatz - with 1,200 seats one of the largest open-air stages in Austria, which are regularly used for musicals - is located at the foot of this steep cliff

      The Staatzer Berg is always worth a visit.
