Riegersburg
In this
blog entry, I am going to write something about my hometown: Riegersburg.
Riegersburg is a pretty small town in the South-East of Styria, close to
Feldbach and the Zotter chocolate factory. Not only is Riegersburg famous for
having the best “Buschenschanke”, but also for the great castle, the
Riegersburg. It is probably the best known, when not the only, sight in this
area. The castle is situated on top of a dormant volcano in the middle of the
town and was first mentioned in 1122. Since 2003 the castle is easy accessible
by lift, but it is also possible to enter it by climbing up the foothpath or
for the adventurous there is the via ferrata. Inside the castle is a very
interesting witch-museum I can highly recommend. At the foot of the castle is
the lake swimming pool, also very beautiful. Besides the castle and the pool,
there are numerous hiking trails in and around the town.
So
if someone thinks about participating in a “Buschenschank-tour”, don´t miss having
a look at the amazing castle of Riegersburg.
