    Hiking

    The Schrattenstein Castle ruins sit perched on a rocky outcrop above the valley and offer magnificent views over the surrounding hills as far as the Hohe Wand mountain. The remains of the former hilltop castle are now freely accessible and invite exploration – with ancient walls, weathered stones, and a special, almost mystical atmosphere.

    A worthwhile detour for hikers who appreciate history and views in equal measure. It's particularly beautiful at sunset or as the destination for a circular hike through the Johannesbach Gorge or from the Andreassteig Trail.

    Schrattenstein Castle was first mentioned in a document in the 12th century. Various lords later ruled here until the castle was abandoned during the Hungarian Wars under Matthias Corvinus in the late 15th century. Today the site of the Schrattenstein castle ruins belongs to the city of Vienna.

    The Schrattenstein castle ruins are now part of the municipality of Schrattenbach. It is located on a rugged cliff near Grünbach am Schneeberg. The earlier castle had a good line of sight to Wulfingstein Castle, which is now closed.
