The castle ruins of Aggstein are no ordinary excursion destination, they are a real adventure high above the Danube. Perched on a steep rock, the more than 900-year-old Knight's Castle offers one of the most spectacular views of the Wachau. Explore historic walls, narrow defensive passages, towers, the legendary Rose Garden and learn on the spot how knights and damsels really lived.
What makes Aggstein so unique? The combination of impressive natural scenery, original ruin structure and exciting history. There is also a freely accessible circuit, audio guides and, on request, a family-friendly outdoor escape room, a real highlight for children and groups.
After the tour, the castle tavern serves regional cuisine.
