    Hiking

    Wartenstein Castle sits majestically overlooking the Schwarza Valley. This historic complex has shaped the landscape on the edge of the Rax region for centuries. From here, breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys unfold.

    The castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.

    The original building dates from the 12th century and only included a keep, a palace, a chapel and a small courtyard. The first expansion of the complex took place in the middle of the 13th century. The first lords of the castle were Hermannus de Wartenstein, who was first mentioned in a document around 1190, and the ministeriale Chunradus de Wartenstaine, who is mentioned in a document from 1220. In 1287 Heinrich von Stubenberg acquired the castle. He was succeeded as owner by Erchengerus de Wartenstein.
