Ruins of Scharnstein Castle A-4644 Scharnstein

Type: Interesting

Description:
The ruins are located high above the Alm valley. With 4500 m² it is relatively extensive. There are actually three facilities built on different rocks. The main castle had two disadvantages: it was elevated by the adjacent terrain and offered no direct line of sight to the valley road. Therefore, the middle castle and upper castle were built on a slightly higher rock plateau. The middle castle was connected to the main castle by a covered walkway. The sturdy tower of the middle castle is best preserved, while its ring wall exists only in remnants. The upper castle is today a castle mound, of which only a meager wall remnant remains.
