Nice view of the castle from the Drau but also from the slope opposite

Castle ruins located above Dölsach with a wonderful view of the sunset over The Lienz Basin. Walchenstein Castle, on the southern slope of the Stronacher Kogel east of the Dölsacher Bach gorge, was of great importance for the Counts of Gorizia in the later Middle Ages. Count Albert I gave this Gorizia castle to his Friulian servant Wolfram de Ragogna. After several changes of ownership, it was bought in 1339 by Heinrich von Lavant, a Görzischen vassal. In the turmoil of war in the 13th and 15th centuries, Walchenstein Castle was given the task of blocking the way across the saddle. After 1500 it came into bourgeois possession and fell into disrepair. In recent years archaeological investigations have been carried out, the remains of the wall have been preserved and made accessible to visitors from the Moarhof and the Wallensteinerhöfe. From 1997-99 the UNI IBK prehistory and early history (archeology) excavated and restored them.

A bit confusing access, otherwise very nice

Coming from Lienz you can easily overlook the view and yet it invites you to linger. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Stein_(Dellach_im_Drautal)

Stein Castle is a well-preserved rock castle from the Middle Ages on a steeply rising rock south of Irschen in the Upper Drautal

Hidden on a rock in the middle of the forest you can see this small castle coming from the mountain in the Drautal.
