The views from this wonderful castle are amazing. The scene of the film 'where eagles dare' is a lovely place to spend a few hours. A good tour, multi language and a click tower that's great to climb! Food is good and the birds of prey exhibition is superb. Nice to see the birds in the falconry display fly into... More

This is a great medieval castle! It is not a Disneyland castle, but what could be thought of as a medieval working castle. The tour has audio translations in many languages, you can walk all over the castle, there are separate falconry and sword museums. The falconry show is fantastic. Done in the larger courtyard area they fly a variety... More

Brilliant castle for the children to roam over. Well organised tour with the best views of any castle in Europe. It can be a little chilly so bring a jacket. Have a camera ready as you will want to take a lot of photographs. Also, wear your walking shoes as you do go and and own stairs. No strollers in... More

Great views, nice tour, cool birds, awesome food in huge portions.

We had no idea when we went there that the castle would be so old, in such a beautiful location and so well preserved! Truly worth a visit, if not for nothing else, then the view from the window in Ladies toilet in Burgschenke restaurant!

Though pricey (up to 14 Euro if you take the funicular), the experience, the falconry show and in some cases, even the views were all better than the fortress in Salzburg. Well worth... More

Allow plenty of time for your visit if you want to have time to do the tour which to see the main parts of the castle including up to the bell tower you must take. Also need time to see the eagle display which is amazing and time to look around other parts of the castle and the armouries on... More

We stumbled upon the Hohenwerfen castle while driving around Austria. We parked up and decided against the cliff train after reading the sign saying 15 minute walk. It may be 15 minutes to the entrance gate but allow another 15 to get into the castle. Exhausting! When you haul yourself up there, the views are beautiful, food basic but very... More

The castle, dating from the 11th century, is situated in the town of Werfen on a rocky outcrop about 150 metres high, which is quite an impressive and imposing site when you get near. It boasts stunning 360 degree views from the Bell Tower, however, you can't get up there unless you are on a guided tour so once you... More
