View of Hochosterwitz Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hochosterwitz Castle is an impressive castle complex from the 9th century. A total of 14 gates wind their way up the mountain to the actual castle. An impressive sight, even from below, which is worth taking a short break for.

There is also a lift available for the way up to the castle, but then you miss out on the panoramic views.
