It's somehow unbelievable that a castle stands here, but when you consider that a road has existed here for over 2,000 years.

Fernstein Castle is located directly on the Via Claudia Augusta and the Wannig circuit that partly follows it. Coming from the Fernpass you can touch it on a wonderful S0 trail with a magnificent view of the Fernsteinsee. If you have time, you can take a break here.
