A hike with medieval highlights and fantastic views of the Murau region!
Due to its location and size, the Steinschloss ruin is one of the most spectacular complexes in Central Europe. Visible from afar, defiant, magnificently espoused, it is at almost 1,200m above sea level, the highest castle in Styria.
