Hochosterwitz

 

Hochosterwitz castle is considered to be one of the most impressive medieval castles left standing. It is located in Austria and mentioned as far back as 860. No major changes have been made to it since the 16th century. Some parts are open to tourists from Easter to the end of October every year. Be quite the trip!
