マリア・ラインの洞窟・トップ14

1348年の地震により城は一部破壊されましたが、すぐに再建されました。1349年には、Hollenburgが地方長官の所在地として証明されています。

The freely accessible Hochwart Castle ruins, also known as the "Black Castle," serve as a reminder of the dramatic end of the once mighty fortress of the Counts of Celje, whose line died out in 1456. Destroyed in a succession dispute, the castle was never rebuilt; today, parts of the main tower and walls of the 12th-century chapel still stand in the forest. However, the ruins are unsecured and at risk of collapse, situated partly on steep slopes, and the last 600 meters are only accessible on foot.

The most coveted spot on Lake Wörthersee is undoubtedly the Maria Loretto peninsula in Klagenfurt's eastern bay. This magical place manages to bridge the gap between pristine nature and opulent festivities. Anyone who has experienced the Lendspitz nature reserve or witnessed the breathtaking view from Maria Loretto Castle will fall in love with this narrow gem forever. Whether it's a photo spot for a wedding or pure romance away from the crowds – everyone can escape the everyday here. Its high recreational value makes this peninsula the place to be! Anyone who has experienced the Lendspitz nature reserve or seen the breathtaking view from Maria Loretto Castle will fall in love with this narrow gem forever.

In this place, you can let go of time. Not because it passes too quickly, but because it ceases to be important. On the Maria Loretto peninsula, the world seems to whisper instead of speak. The water sparkles as reliably as an old poem that you want to reread again and again. Palm trees and plane trees share the view of the shore, while the castle stands discreetly in the background – as if it knew its impact and no longer needed to prove it. Here, you take off your shoes because the gravel path suggests it. You sit down on a marble bench, perhaps drink a glass of wine in the shade of the linden trees, or simply dip your feet in the turquoise water. And suddenly you understand why people used to build avenues to the lake: not out of a desire for representation, but to create a dignified path to happiness. If you're in a hurry, it's best to stay outside. If you have the heart for it, you can enter.

This time it's not a tip but a hint: The castle complex has been lovingly restored and is maintained and cared for by the Zechner family. Please don't leave any rubbish behind and if you take a drink from the cistern, don't forget to make a "generous donation"!

The castle dates back to the 12th century. It is enthroned on a rock that drops steeply to the Drau. Burghof and Söller (a dream view of the Karawanken) are freely accessible. The castle is owned by the Kyrle family, which also owns a large forest management company.

be sure to go up to the tower

On the Zeiselburg site there is an opportunity to grill and sit together. In addition, the tower can be visited and climbed up to the viewing platform. There are also instructions / explanations about the surrounding mountains on the viewing platform.
