Tips

If you still have time and energy, do take a detour on the way back to Greinberg Castle with its wonderful Renaissance arcade court! (Walking time from the town centre about 10 minutes). The castle was built between 1491 and 1495 as one of the first castles in the German-speaking world. Here there are many impressive festival rooms to discover, such as the stately knight`s hall, the castle chapel, the diamond vault and the Sala Terrena decorated with countless Danube pebbles.
