Riegersburg

Adventure tour of a special kind with the castle expert Günther Maierhofer

Günther Maierhofer has been interested in Riegersburg Castle since his childhood.
At the age of ten, Maierhofer built a miniature of the castle. Four years later, he wrote a 1,700-page book about "his castle." In 2005, he fulfilled his childhood dream and developed the "Adventure Tour of Riegersburg Castle," an exclusive program guiding guests through the "strongest fortress in Christendom."

Individual attention, hospitality, and expertise form the foundation of the project, which takes place independently with the owners' permission. Initially laughed at, the tour quickly became an insider tip. "My goal was to create something far from mass tourism!" says Maierhofer. Experience the magic of Styria’s volcanic region and the history of Riegersburg Castle in a special guided tour.
