P	Péter Nyirádi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sajnos privát terület nem lehet látogatni. Pedig bejártuk körbe a területet és biztos szép lehet bent is. Legalább a kilátás miatt jó lett volna ha megnyitnák. Unfortunately private area cannot be visited. We did walk around the area and it can be nice inside. At least because of the view, it would have been good if it had been opened.
c	channel max on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Costruito per volere dei Vescovi di Salisburgo nel 1147 sul luogo di precedenti fortificazioni, era in origine una torre circondata dalle mura in posizione strategica, su di una collina in prossimità del fiume. Divenne negli anni una fortezza con tre torrioni e due cerchia di mura, una delle più grandi del Tirolo. Il suo momento più importante, fu nel 1412, quando vi fu siglata la pace tra Tirolo e Baviera, e, nel 1416, quando fu il luogo di riconciliazione della faida familiare tra i 2 fratelli Asburgo. Col tempo perse importanza e cominciò a cadere in rovina. Subì danneggiamenti durante le guerre con la Baviera e fu anche bombardato nella seconda guerra mondiale. Grazie ai restauri, oggi rimangono le 3 torri, le mura e parte di altri edifici. È privato e non visitabile, si può solo vedere dall'esterno, salendo il sentiero che porta in cima alla collina. La vista migliore si ha dal fiume o dall'autostrada. Built at the behest of the Bishops of Salzburg in 1147 on the site of previous fortifications, it was originally a tower surrounded by walls in a strategic position, on a hill near the river. Over the years it became a fortress with three towers and two circles of walls, one of the largest in Tyrol. Its most important moment was in 1412, when the peace between Tyrol and Bavaria was signed, and, in 1416, when it was the place of reconciliation of the family feud between the 2 Habsburg brothers. Over time it lost importance and began to fall into disrepair. It suffered damage during the wars with Bavaria and was also bombed in World War II. Thanks to the restorations, the 3 towers, the walls and part of other buildings remain today. It is private and cannot be visited, it can only be seen from the outside, climbing the path that leads to the top of the hill. The best view is from the river or the highway.
