In one of the most beautiful valleys in Carinthia, a 150 meter high limestone cliff rises, which can be seen from all the surrounding mountains and hills. The mountains of Friesach and the Gurktal, the Ulrichsberg, the Magdalensberg, the Gerlitzen and the Villacher Alpe, part of the Karawanken, the highlands of the Duchy of St. Veit and the numerous nearby castles and ruins (such as Mansberg, Taggenbrunn, the Kraiger castles , Nussberg, Liebenberg, Liebenfels and Karlsberg) are part of the view offered to visitors from Hochosterwitz Castle.
