Hiking

The castle ruins Finkenstein is located south of Villach and was built in the 12th century as the seat of the Finkenstein family. After conquests of recent centuries, the castle has fallen into ruin. In the 1980s, an amphitheater was opened in ruins by regular performances take place. From the spectator stands one has a wide view of the valley. On the upper floor there is also a cozy café with a fantastic panoramic terrace. A trip is highly recommended!

Very nice view. In the castle's own cafe, you can climb the tower via a staircase.
