Aussichtswarte Altburg Schwanberg

Bad Schwanberg

One can expect not only an excellent panoramic view, but it is also intended to convey to visitors how one could see into the land from the former keep of the Altburg.

The Altburg Schwanberg dates back to the High or Late Middle Ages and was an important defensive structure of its time. The partial reconstruction of the torn-down walls, as well as the observation tower on the Altburg, serve as an as authentic as possible graphic reconstruction of the former facility and are intended to provide a vivid representation of the earlier or medieval settlement phase.

It is fascinating how this 18 m high observation tower offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty of the landscape from a bird's-eye view. The view extends far over the vineyards and the nearby castles Limberg and Hollenegg all the way to Schöckel and Wildonerkogel.

If you are in the area, you should definitely plan a visit and enjoy the breathtaking view! 

The “Blickwechsel Tour” combines cycling and hiking and leads to impressive observation towers with spectacular panoramic views.
