Riegersburg Castle

Perched high on an extinct volcano, Riegersburg Castle is a place rich in history, adventure and breathtaking views. As the largest fortress complex in the region, it offers an unforgettable experience for group travellers. Even the ascent becomes part of the adventure: guests can choose between the historic castle path, a via ferrata, or the convenient inclined lift.

Inside the castle, the Witch Museum has been captivating visitors for over 30 years. The Castle Museum showcases magnificent living quarters and state rooms, bringing history to life, while the Armoury Museum presents an impressive collection of historical weapons.

The castle tavern features a welcoming terrace with spectacular panoramic views. A true highlight of any visit is the birds of prey flight show, where these majestic animals demonstrate their impressive flying skills in an engaging display – a memorable experience for all.
