A special culinary experience with a magical panorama

Landskron Castle and Restaurant

Landskron Castle is one of the landmarks of the region and from spring to autumn a great excursion destination. From the terrace of the café there is a breathtaking view over Villach Region and onto the magical alpine landscape of Carinthia.

Two culinary options are available at the castle restaurant:
Good value traditional cuisine or, for more demanding gourmets, fresh affordable haute-cuisine.

Surrounded by the spectacular backdrop of Lake Ossiacher See, the city of Villach, Carinthia's alpine landscape, the Julian Alps and the Karawanken mountain range, guests are spoilt at lunch time and in the evening with traditional dishes in the Bärenstüberl and on the Panorama Terrace, and in the afternoons with home-made cakes.

One castle - four attractions

Landskron Castle was one of the most magnificent Renaissance mansions in the Middle Ages. The “Burgherrenrunde” trail is a pure hiking adventure, with spectacular views of Villach, Lake Ossiach and Landskron Castle. There is much to marvel at whilst walking along the pleasant 3.6-kilometre-long hike, and the 180 metres of altitude are quickly covered within the first half hour.

Burgherrenrunde

A wonderful family walk along easy and well-maintained forest paths by the western foothills of the Ossiacher Tauern. Here the path takes us on a historical tour through flora and fauna to breathtaking views and idyllic forest ponds. After a brief toll road ascent to the castle ruins, we start by the castle pond.
