The Forchtenstein Castle stands as a medieval castle, architecturally located at the northwestern corner of the market fortification of Neumarkt in Steiermark in a high valley between the Seetal Alps to the east and the Grebenzen to the west. The name of the Forchtenstein Castle in Neumarkt is said to be derived from the Old High German "forhten" (to fear) and Stein. The economic basis of the castle's dominion has since time immemorial been the collection of toll revenues and the utilization of toll rights. In 1956, Forchtenstein Castle was leased by the European Federalist Movement. Since then, the castle has been an international meeting place, an ideas workshop, and an educational center for the cross-party promotion of European federalism and European integration. Under the idea: "May this castle, in the literal and figurative sense of the word, be a fortress of the European idea!", the castle continued to be operated until 2018. In 2018, the castle was transferred by the previous owner, EFB Steiermark, for a symbolic amount to the EYFON Foundation (European Youth Forum Neumarkt). The Forchtenstein Castle consists in its core of a four-story tower house in the northwest. Defensive walls and other buildings are attached to the tower house in an elongated rectangle. In the southeast, there is a building connected to the "city wall".

A beautiful little pond that can also be circumnavigated by hiking. In summer, it's perfect for swimming and SUPing.

The Frauenburg towers high above Unzmarkt-Frauenburg and has been since the 13th century. Next to it is the church of the same name. You have a wonderful view of both from here.

A small road leads from Murau to St. Blenden through pure nature. At the highest point there is the source that gives it its name - the "Kleine Tauernbründl". Both approaches are worthwhile. A gem that definitely has to be driven.
