Castle Hochosterwitz / Burg Hochosterwitz

johannpiber (72)in #photography • 5 years ago

Unfortunately I never got closer to the castle Hochosterwitz this year than can be seen in these photos.

Näher bin ich heuer leider nie an die Burg Hochosterwitz herangekommen.

Actually, I wanted to visit the castle again this year after quite a while with my family, but somehow we did not make it. Maybe there will be a visit next year.

Eigentlich wollte ich die Burg heuer wieder einmal mit meiner Familie besuchen, aber irgendwie haben wir es leider nicht geschafft. Vielleicht geht sich nächstes Jahr ein Besuch aus.

The castle Hochosterwitz was built on a 150 meter high limestone rock. From the castle itself you have a beautiful view in all directions. The castle was first documented in a deed of donation from the year 860.

Die Burg Hochosterwitz steht auf einem 150 Meter hohen Kalksteinfelsen. Von der Burg selbst hat man eine wunderschöne Aussicht in alle Himmelsrichtungen. Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wurde die Burg in einer Schenkungsurkunde aus dem Jahre 860.

From one of the parking spaces you can either walk through the 14 gates to the castle, or ride on the in 2017 newly built lift, which makes the 124 meter in 65 seconds. I have never ridden the lift, but I can recommend the interesting walk through the gates. Of course, the lift trip costs separately.
At the castle you can visit, among other things, an armory, the castle church, a collection of weapons and a picture collection from the Renaissance period.
In the castle restaurant you can enjoy the local Carinthian cuisine.
The current opening times and entrance fees are available on the official website of the castle (link below the article).

Von einem der Parkplätze kann man entweder zu Fuß durch die insgesamt 14 Tore zur Burg marschieren, oder mit dem 2017 neu errichteten Lift fahren, welcher die 124 Meter Steighöhe in 65 Sekunden überwindet. Mit dem Lift bin ich noch nie gefahren, aber ich kann den interessanten Spaziergang durch die Tore empfehlen. Die Liftfahrt kostet natürlich separat.
Auf der Burg kann man unter anderem auch eine Rüstkammer, die Burgkirche, eine Waffensammlung und eine Bildersammlung aus der Renaissancezeit besichtigen.
Im Burgrestaurant kann man die heimische Kärntner Küche genießen.
Die aktuellen Öffnungszeiten und Eintrittspreise gibt es auf der offiziellen Webseite der Burg (Link nach dem Beitrag).

Guten Morgen @kadna 🙂
Upvotes auf Kommentare sind ja nunmehr wertlos, und wenn man genug !BEER sammelt, dann zahlt sich das mit der Zeit schon aus, denn momentan liegt der Preis bei 0,39 im Verkauf.
Schönen Tag 🙂

That is a beautiful castle. Really nice shots @johannpiber . I can imagine how much time and effort was needed to build this amazing structure on that rock. As always you got 100% upvote from me.

We have quite a few castles around, but I think this one is the most beautiful. I don't think, building such a castle would be affordable or possible nowadays.
Thank you so much that you like the photos of this castle, @cezary-io 🙂

Sehr interessanter Beitrag und eine tolle Reiseempfehlung. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich bisher noch keine Bilder dieser Burg gesehen habe. Auf jeden Fall handelt es sich um ein überaus tolles Bauwerk mit einer langen Geschichte. Den Ausblick von dort oben kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Aber du wirst uns sicher noch Bilder von dort oben zeigen.

Dankeschön, dass dir mein Beitrag gefallen hat, @faltermann 🙂
Da oben hast du einen coolen Ausblick über die ganze Gegend und der Marsch durch die 14 Tore hinauf ist auch recht interessant. Vielleicht geht sich ja nächstes Jahr wieder mal ein Besuch aus - es sind ja nur wenige Minuten mit dem Auto, aber die Familie muss halt auch mitspielen, denn alleine macht so ein Ausflug keinen Spaß.

It is a beautiful castle, just a few minutes by car from where I live. I bet, you would walk - it is a nice walk and you have a great view all the way up.

I have just got a message, that no beer can be delivered - his RC are down at the moment. We have to wait 😭

I would be surprised if anyone uses it more than us, perhaps we over do it?

ITs funny often when something is close its all to easy to put off visiting it, same with some of the tourist spots in NYC I only ever went to them when we had visitors

The beerlover upvotes each comment, which uses the !BEER what reduces his RC. They will fix that soon from 5% at the time to a very much lower value.

Right, we live and work near a beautiful lake, where people pay to make holidays and go swimming. The last time I have been in that water is about 10 years ago, when the kids were much younger 😉

SO us being so generous with !BEER is creating part of the problem I gather LOL
And yet you will drive for a few hours to visit other lakes, isnt it funny how we all do that

johannpiber (72) 5 years ago

Yes, but we are not the only ones ... maybe the biggest !BEER givers though 😉
I don't like to swim in lakes anyway, and my wife does not like that too. I need to see the ground ;)
Also, our lake is too expensive and there are too many tourists. I prefer to go to this lake and also to the other lakes, to which I drive for hours, as you say, in the mornings before the tourists are awake ;)
