Golling Castle is a medieval hilltop castle built in the 13th century by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg and served for centuries as a court, administrative seat, and defensive structure. Due to its location on a rocky outcrop, it was an important strategic point in the Salzach Valley between the Tennengebirge and Hagengebirge mountains. The castle has been rebuilt and restored several times over the centuries, including after being destroyed during the Peasants' War and the Napoleonic Wars. Today, it is in excellent condition and houses a museum with natural and cultural history collections. Highlights include fossils such as a mammoth tusk and the rare skeleton of an Omphalosaurus, archaeological finds from the Bronze Age, a large collection of pocket watches, and preserved original rooms such as the Prince's Chamber, the former torture chamber, and a chapel with a Rococo altar. In addition, the castle regularly hosts events such as concerts, readings, and themed tours. The surrounding area offers many natural and cultural experiences, such as the Lammerklamm Gorge, the Golling Waterfall, and other nearby castles. Golling Castle is a worthwhile destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

At 622 meters above sea level, the ruins of Gutrat Castle (also spelled Guetrath) stand perched on a limestone outcrop high above the Salzach Valley. The castle's significance was brief: built in 1198 to protect the salt deposits on the Tuval Mountain, it was left to decay in 1304 after the saltworks dried up. Little of the once imposing complex remains today, but the palace and keep are still clearly visible. A few rusty monsters lurk on the grounds: works of art made from scrap metal. The path from Au is steep and arduous, and finally, the path leads up steel ramps and stairs to the castle.

We climbed up in the dark. With a headlamp, it was no problem at all. From the castle, there was a fantastic view of the illuminated towns.

Nice place to use in the morning or evening. Since there are no trees to provide shade, it is very hot in the midday sun.

Art exhibitions, rose garden, magnificent rooms, Romanesque cloister and the collegiate church next door. History comes to life in the area around the castle square. schloss-berchtesgaden.de
