Hiking

Nature, history, and views: The circular tour to the Eppenstein ruins offers just that. A varied route that not only gets you moving, but also takes you back in time.

From the parking lot below the ruins, you'll set off leisurely on well-marked paths through forests, meadows, and small farm settlements. You'll hike along old, not-too-steep trails. Only the final few meters up to the castle ruins do things get a bit tougher. Surefootedness is required here – especially on wet ground.

Once you reach the top, you'll find yourself standing in front of the impressive remains of one of Styria's oldest fortifications and enjoy a sweeping view over the Mur Valley before hiking back to the start through green forests and open fields.

Eppenstein castle ruins

Highlight • Castle

From the Eppenstein ruins, you have a wonderful view over much of the Mur Valley. There are several benches for seating. All of these parts can be reached via stairs and small paths that are still very well preserved. The ruins themselves are also very well preserved. The path up to the ruins is easy, even for beginners. From up there, you can feel like you were in the old days. Unfortunately, the traffic noise from Eppenstein is extremely audible 😢.
