ラポッテンシュタインのおすすめライド

アルベスバッハ城は必見のハイライトで、絶対に訪れるべき場所です。遠くからでも、いわゆる「ヴァルトフィアテルの牙」（Stockzahn des Waldviertels）を見ることができます。敷地に到着すると、126段の階段を上ると入り口があり、入場料（現在€2.50）は硬貨またはカードでお支払いください。その後、内部をさらに上へ進むと、素晴らしい眺めを提供するプラットフォームがあります。塔の周りには周回路もありますが、これにはある程度の足元の安定性と適切な靴が必要です。

At the beginning of the 13th century, Hadmar II of Kuenring had the castle town of Weitra built. Since its founding, Weitra held the central military, administrative, judicial, and ecclesiastical functions in the so-called "Districtus Witrensis" (District of Witrensis). It was also a central market town and refuge in times of war. In the 16th century, the castle was rebuilt into a magnificent Renaissance palace according to plans by Pietro Ferrabosco. In 1994, the palace was renovated by Prince Johannes zu Fürstenberg and opened to the public. More on the history: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Weitra

The village was first mentioned in 1246 and was originally owned by the Kuenring line of Weitra-Rappottenstein. In 1282, the estate passed to the Lords of Falkenberg, and in 1291 to Ulrich von Kapelln. In the 14th century, Arbesbach is mentioned as a freehold property. From 1326 to 1348, it was owned by the Lords of Klingenberg, who in 1347 mortgaged "the castle and the house at Arbesbach" to Weikart and Katharina von Winkl. From 1348, Arbesbach was owned by the Lords of Dachsberg, and from 1423 by the Lords of Starhemberg. In 1480, the castle was destroyed by a Bohemian raiding party and was not rebuilt. In 1600, the estate passed to the Lords of Tschernembl, and in 1604 to Georg Fenzl von... Grueb and as early as 1605 to Georg Kaspar von Neuhaus. From 1614 owned by the Lords von Hackelberg, from 1675 to 1862 by the Countess Dietrichstein. Afterwards, it passed to the Herberstein, Geusau, and Baron Holtz families, and from 1877 onwards to the Altzinger family, who still own the estate today and reside in part of the castle complex.

This is not the old "Town Hall of Krems", but of Zwettl.

The imposing Weitra Castle sits atop a hill above the equally beautiful old town and is a sight to behold from all directions. Current information on history and events is available at https://schloss-weitra.at/

There are really a lot of interesting stones in the area, like this one!

You have to see what there is to see here at Gross Gerungs. You can climb up with a ladder and take a closer look, and there are also information boards.

Beautiful backdrop for the farmers market. 😎
