オーバーアルムの洞窟・トップ20

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.

Beautiful castle in Berchtesgaden

To the south of the castle lies the equally impressive large Meierhof, whose structure dates back to the 15th century. The gate tower there was built under Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian.

Glanegg was first mentioned as an archiepiscopal seat in 1350 and was the seat of a district court for a very long time. This extended to towns on both sides of the Salzach. Under Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach, the complex, which was threatened with decay, was restored and given the current appearance of an inhabited tower castle.

Since you are no longer allowed to drive through the estate, we cannot recommend it.
