Hohenwerfen Castle not only provides some of the most impressive backdrops for many a film set, it is also an absolute cultural highlight in our region. A birds of prey show, knights’ halls and a breathtaking view in every direction will transport you back to the time of knights, kings and fire-breathing dragons – speaking of dragons. If you prefer something a little less fiery, you shouldn’t miss the Eisriesenwelt. It took thousands of years for this fantastic cave system to become what it is today: a dynamic ice cave.

If you’re looking for ideas for a day out, we recommend Werfen. First, you can wander through the historic walls of Hohenwerfen Fortress and cross the castle threshold once trodden by princesses. It’s best to combine this with a birds of prey display and learn lots of interesting facts about the art of falconry. Afterwards, head up to the world’s largest ice cave. Up there, you can experience the mountains in a completely different way. Discover the wonders of the Great Ice Cave and marvel at the ice palaces made of crystal-clear frozen water. Even on hot summer’s days, it’s wintry cold in there – the perfect way to cool off.
