Introducing Riegersburg

Click to see all image gallery

   Welcome to Riegersburg

   Located 50km southeast of Graz at Riegersburg and perched on a 200m-high rocky outcrop, Schloss Riegersburg (821 31; riegersburg.com; adult/child & student/family €9.50/7/25; 10am-5pm Apr & Oct, 9am-5pm May-Sep) is a hugely impressive 13th-century castle built against invading Hungarians and Turks; today it houses a Hexenmuseum on witchcraft and the Burgmuseum featuring the history of the Liechtenstein family, who acquired it in 1822. A war memorial is a reminder of fierce fighting in 1945, when Germans occupying the castle were attacked by Russian troops.

   A cable car on the north side whisks you up in 90 seconds (one-way €2).
