Riegersburg Castle

A Karen Brown Recommendation

When you reach Riegersburg you will see high above the town, to the right of the road, the sensational Riegersburg Castle. Park your car in town at one of the designated parking places and walk up the path to the castle. Be forewarned: it is at least a half-hour’s hike. But if you are not in a hurry, the walk is part of the fun. When you finally reach the top, there is a restaurant where you can sit outside and enjoy the stunning panorama from your perch high in the sky. You need to join a tour to visit the castle. The interior is not spectacular—it is the combination of the incredible setting, the views, and the structure of the castle that makes a trip here worthwhile. Note: As you climb up the path to the castle, before you reach the summit, there is a place to the right where falconry demonstrations are given. If this interests you, ask the tourist office in advance for the schedule.
