Take this tour to get away from the daily stresses and explore the Reifenstein ruins in the Murtal region of Styria from the outside. Reifenstein is a fine example of a castle that has been constantly extended and expanded over the centuries. It is forbidden to enter the ruins as they are in danger of collapsing.
Hiking...With respect for wildlife and the environment!
