Hiking

On the 561 meter high Arnstein, you can discover the remains of Arnstein Castle, which was built in the 12th century, in the dense forest. After it was destroyed during the Turkish siege in 1529, the complex was partially rebuilt and changed hands several times. Since 1955, the ruins have been managed by the Austrian Federal Forests. A detour to the Arnsteinnadel rock formation is also worthwhile.
