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!

Also a nice place.

Fantastic view and great descent.

At the end of 2020, the tenth and final horseshoe sculpture of the LEADER project landed in Albersdorf-Prebuch. The Styrian panther, holding its protective paw over a red apple, marks the beginning of the Styrian Apple Road. The Styrian panther, weighing a proud 400 kg, arrived in the municipality on December 28, 2020, and was placed in its final location in spring 2021. Since the beginning of 2018, ten horseshoe sculptures have been erected in the Weiz-Gleisdorf energy region as part of the LEADER project "Kunst.Hot.Spot." The total project volume amounts to €85,500, 60 percent of which is funded by LEADER funds. It all began in the municipality of Naas with the ceremonial opening of a Styrian Panther in July 2018. Eight more horseshoe sculptures followed in the municipalities of Thannhausen, Puch bei Weiz, St. Ruprecht an der Raab, Hofstätten an der Raab, Mitterdorf an der Raab, Mortantsch, Gleisdorf, and Weiz. The ten sculptures are a Styrian Panther with the municipal coat of arms (Naas), a mother cow with calf (Thannhausen), an apple with a heart (Puch), a book and viola (St. Ruprecht/R.), a squirrel (Hofstätten), a 3D municipal coat of arms (Mitterdorf), a mouflon (Mortantsch), a Styrian Panther with the municipal logo (Gleisdorf), the Weiz "W," and the Styrian Panther with an apple.

Great views of the Weizklamm and the surrounding mountains. One viewpoint is more beautiful than the next.

Beautiful

Nice tour. Partly road but also a lot of sloping and forest paths

Interesting horseshoe figure
