Burg Altpernstein is a thousand-year-old fortress situated idyllically in dense forest at 900 meters elevation above the Kremstal valley. Constructed around 1000 to control the strategic rocky outcrop, the castle first appeared in written records in 1160 and served as a defensive stronghold for centuries. Following complete renovation in 2019, it now operates as a family-friendly hotel and recreation site featuring archery courses, climbing routes, castle goats, and a tavern on the outlook terrace. The property hosts monthly brunch events, weddings, school programs, and summer camps, blending historical preservation with modern hospitality.
