The Ringwarte is a lookout tower with a height of 30 meters. 99 steps lead to the top of the tower, from which one has a fantastic panoramic view over the eastern Styrian hills. The Ringwarte was built in 1906 by the then mayor Raimund Obendrauf; in 2006, as part of the 100th anniversary celebration, the entire facility around the lookout tower was renewed and complemented with a new shelter.
The archaeological circular trail at Ringkogel leads visitors along the former ring wall to six stations that provide information and visual material about the settlement history and the construction of this significant Celtic settlement.
