Hochosterwitz Castle – a TOP destination in Carinthia

Hochosterwitz Castle is one of the most picturesque castles in Austria. It is located in today’s municipality of St. Georgen am Längsee, east of St. Veit an der Glan, and is one of the landmarks of Austria’s federal province of Carinthia. Standing on a Dolomite rock, rising 175 metres above the village, it was first mentioned in records in 860. 

To fortify the castle against the impending Turkish invasion, George Baron of Khevenhüller had 14 gates built on the path leading to the castle. Owing to this protection, the castle was never taken. The use of such a large number of obstacles to defend a path leading to a castle is rather rare and is considered unique in castle construction.
(C) Burg Hochosterwitz
The castle has been continuously owned by the Khevenhüller family up to the present day and can be reached either on foot or by a lift. Hochosterwitz Castle is an exciting destination for young and old. 

14 gates lead to the medieval castle and its armoury, museum, collection of arms and other historical collections. The small castle chapel is decorated with remarkable murals on walls and ceiling. The castle’s restaurant, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding area, serves delightful Austrian cuisine.
(C) Burg Hochosterwitz
The castle’s restaurant, museum and passenger lift are available from April up to and including 1 November. Enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the castle and the unique view of a historically rich part of Carinthia.

Culinary September Highlights

Tafelspitz – A Viennese Classic

The name of the delicious cut of boiling beef that is so well-known from Viennese cuisine is of Bavarian-Austrian origin. While it is basically a simple dish to prepare, a couple of tips and tricks are needed to make sure you get the very best result. Beef that is boiled in water quickly loses its distinctive flavour, so the secret is making sure that you season the stock properly. One well-known lover of Tafelspitz was the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. He could never get enough of the tender cut of beef that is similar to silverside.

Viennese Tafelspitz is served in a bowl together with the stock in which it was boiled. Traditionally, it is accompanied by apple and horseradish sauce.

The picture shows our: Altwiener Tafelspitz with chive sauce, apple and horseradish sauce, pan-fried potatoes and fine creamed spinach

Pssst… our cocktail of the month will also knock your socks off:


Negroni – The Stronger Americano

The origins of the Negroni cocktail can be traced back to Italy. According to legend, Count Camillo Negroni, a well-known man about town, went to his favourite bar one day and asked the barman to make him a stronger Americano. The barman responded by creating this unusual drink which is made of Campari, vermouth and gin. Ever since, this delightful drink has been known as a "Negroni" and in Italy it is especially popular as an aperitif.

DISCOVER THE VIBRANCY OF CONTEMPORARY VIENNA


You’ve already been to Vienna in the past and have seen all the magnificent imperial buildings? Then come with us and explore Vienna from a different angle. For as well as the historic buildings, there is another side to the city: Trendy clubs, young designer labels and modern architecture make Vienna a fascinating city that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity.


The best place to start exploring contemporary Vienna is the 7th district (Neubau), which is well known as a creative and trendy quarter that attracts visitors with a wide and varied range of things to do. After visiting the MuseumsQuartier, a centre of the arts that boasts well-known museums such as the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK, rummage through the second-hand shops in the Neubaugasse and get hold of a unique item of vintage clothing. In our opinion, the 7th district with its many hot fashion stores and boutiques can rightly be called a mecca for all fashion victims.  

The 7th district of Vienna also brims with culinary diversity. Our favourite: Maschu Maschu. Maschu Maschu serves specialities from the Middle East. We highly recommend the tasty falafel – probably the best falafel in town.


But that’s enough of shopping and eating. Why not step out and turn the night into day. We recommend that night owls check out the Lutz club, which stands out with its international flair, vibrating club sound and state-of-the-art interior design. 


We wish you LOTS of FUN exploring Vienna Neubau.
