Wilder Mann Cave
Highlight • Cave
The cave is located south of the castle where stone age excavations were discovered and was once a place of sacrifice. In the meantime it has become a mystical place for many visitors and is listed on numerous websites and forums about places of power in Styria. The special calm and at the same time energetic atmosphere in the middle of the pitch-dark cave can be felt by those who believe in it.

Ruins and Excavations on Wildon Castle Hill
Highlight • Historical Site
The almost uninterrupted settlement until modern times gives the Wildoner Schlossberg a unique position in the entire southeast Alpine region. In 1978, the prehistorian Diether Kramers became interested in this site and seven years later he started an excavation and conservation project of enormous proportions:

It takes around 10 minutes to walk from the Wildon train station to the swimming lake. The Murradweg R2 leads directly past. Sufficient parking spaces are available for guests arriving by car. Mario Hödlmoser and his team take care of the physical well-being.
