Arnstein Cave

Highlight • Cave

The Arnstein cave is located below the castle ruins. The 128-meter-long cave was probably used by the castle residents as a stable for their cattle. At the entrance there are still remnants of former masonry. At the end of the 19th century, bones of cave bears, cave hyenas and reindeer were discovered in the cave. The archaeological excavations that were then carried out led to the spread of the rumor among the population that a gold treasure had been discovered in the cave. This in turn led to the fact that locals began to dig in the cave and around the castle ruins for the supposed hidden treasures. Today the Arnstein cave and the castle rock above is used by the Austrian Mountain Association as a training area.
The approximately 13 meter high Arnstein Needle is the most striking rock formation on the castle ruins. The rock needle is classified as a natural monument and is considered to be in danger of collapsing. Originally the Arnstein needle was significantly higher, but since part of the rock loosened, it had to be removed for safety reasons. Some local researchers suspect a pagan place of worship near the needle, others see it as a symbol of fertility. The first ascent of the Arnstein Needle is recorded for the year 1899.
