Greifvogelschau - Burg Oberkapfenberg

Kapfenberg

Experience the world of birds of prey at Oberkapfenberg Castle.

No motorized flying objects, but birds from the small yet fast hawk to the giant vulture fly in this display. They soar just above the heads of the visitors to their falconers, whom they can look over the shoulder of, and who explain the birds and their work as professional falconers very well.


 

The castle terrace of the Burg Oberkapfenberg features excellent wind and thermal conditions. This allows for nature-friendly free flights of eagles, vultures, condors, and more to become a spectacular experience. Multiple birds of prey also fly simultaneously, an experience that is rarely found elsewhere in Europe. From early April to late October, on Wednesdays through Sundays, at 11.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. (exceptions see castle calendar).

Tip: After the flight show, you can tackle the 10-minute ascent to the Lorettokapelle and to the base of the mountain and nature watch Kapfenberg.

For a big or small hunger, enjoy the castle culinary offerings of Kranawetter directly at Burg Oberkapfenberg or visit the restaurant Prieselbauer, located about 5 kilometers away, with great cuisine, a petting zoo, and a large playground.
