Castles - Overview
From manor and lordship to region and relaxation
The "Castle Road" connects castles and palaces, which are much more than just dots on a map. Each of them holds within its walls a great secret – that of time. This area of southeastern Austria and Slovenia is home to one of Europe’s highest concentrations of castles and palaces. All of these noble houses are living witnesses to great epochs. Garden and enjoyment, cuisine and cellar, exercise and cosiness, courtyard and artisanry. And hardly anyone knows the region better, than those, who have the common goal, carrying traditions into the modern age.

Joint workshops
The Castle Road builds bridges across geographical, historical and cultural boundaries. The association promotes the uniqueness of its members through tolerance and integration. In joint workshops and webinars, possibilities for three-dimensional cultural mediation were developed. Best practice examples at partner companies were used to formulate measures for further development steps: Castle of Kornberg

Experience the Castleroad
To the west of the city of Graz, Piber Castle is a good entry point for driving on Schlösserstraße. The entire route meanders through six tourist regions and can be experienced in stages if you stay longer. Whether touring with a vintage car, e-car, bicycle or approaching the palaces, castles, monasteries and historical fortifications on foot, it is a journey through almost 1000 years of shared history. Link to route: https://out.ac/KmOXG
