Tips from the Community
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!

Gutenberg offers a great opportunity for a quick rest and at the village square you also have the opportunity to charge your e-bike - if you are traveling with one ;-).
