The best hikes from bus stations around Thannhausen

The Castle Tavern Castle Tavern Castle Tavern Our country inn, located next to Thannhausen Castle, just 1.5 km from Weiz town center, has been in existence for 400 years. The Castle Tavern itself has been family-owned for over 100 years. Our family-run business primarily uses regional products to create culinary delights. The cozy guest room invites you to linger, and there is also a large hall for company parties or private celebrations (weddings, baptisms, birthdays, etc.). The quiet, idyllic garden also offers pure relaxation. The Castle Tavern also features an adventure playground and 5 comfortable rooms (10 beds). The 400-year-old area has been preserved (bar, guest room, and castle parlor). Recognizable by the vaulted ceiling and the "wooden tram" in the Thannhausen parlor. After Mr. Leiner's death, the property passed to Ludmilla Wünscher (née Leiner, Oberdorf) and then again in 1972 to Herta Pichler (formerly Wünscher). After her marriage to Heinrich Pichler, the Leiner Inn became the Schlosstaverne Pichler. In 1976, the major renovation of the Schlosstaverne began. Previously, the inn consisted only of the guest room and the Schlossstüberl (half of the Schlossstüberl was the kitchen), and the current bar area was an anteroom. The stable was demolished, and the hall was built there. The anteroom became the bar area. The kitchen was relocated to the space that had previously housed the sleeping quarters for the owners and servants. After 40 successful years, Herta Pichler handed over the business to her daughter Birgit, who continues to run the inn. In recent years, great importance has been placed on the renovation of the inn. The bar area was redesigned, the rooms were completely renovated, and the windows and facade were replaced. The Schlosstaverne shines in new splendor. Styrian Culinary Statement When a restaurant is packed to the rafters at lunchtime, even though it's located a bit out of the way, that speaks volumes. Birgit Neuhold and her mother put their heart and soul into their work here, pampering their guests with honest, unfussy, home-cooked food. They also manage to keep wait times short and keep prices truly reasonable. Hats off!

In memory of a deceased person ...

From the summit cross of the Hoher Zetz you have a beautiful view towards Schöckl, the Sommeralm with the Plankogel 🗻 and to the east of the Kulm and Burgenland 🌞 On very clear days all the way to Hungary 🌏 Since you are allowed to park at the Gschnaidter Kreuz at around 825 meters above sea level, it is also possible to stay there until sunset 🌄, as on the way back you can also choose forest paths for the descent, with the exception of the first hundred meters in altitude 🌜🦊

The high Zetz is an easily accessible mountain in the Weiz district. When we were there on a beautiful autumn day, it was very busy. There is a summit cross and a few opportunities to sit down (stones, meadow). View not completely clear due to trees.
