Reifenstein ruins

Take this tour to get away from the daily stresses and explore the Reifenstein ruins in the Murtal region of Styria from the outside. Reifenstein is a fine example of a castle that has been constantly extended and expanded over the centuries. It is forbidden to enter the ruins as they are in danger of collapsing.
Hiking...With respect for wildlife and the environment!

In the Pölstal, we are particularly concerned about the preservation of unspoiled nature. So that the pleasure of the people does not become a problem for wild animals and nature, it requires consideration measures. 

For the sake of nature and the environment, correct behavior in the mountains is the top priority for the hiking enthusiast.
