Hochosterwitz Castle,situated on a rock fan high above the plane below, the castle is not only a landmark of Carinthia but also one of the most imposing medieval castles in Austria due to its topographical location and its kind of structure. Moreover it can be regarded as the model of a medieval castle. A specific feature is the access way to the castle passing through a total of 14 gates, which are particularly prominent owing to the castle's situation in the landscape. The castle mountain has been lived on since the Bronze Age. since 1571,the castle has been in the hands of the same family, in 1586 it received today's shape and appearance. Hochosterwitz is also a historic document of Protestant rule in Carinthia, which lasted till the Counter-Reformation..

A famous story tells, that it was besieged by a tyrolean countess named Margarethe Maultasch for a long time. After food had run out, they threw down the last ox to the enemies to show them they had still enough to eat. The tyrolean enemies went away after this.

Szia Linda!
Érdekes nézőpontot találtál, tetszik az épületek elrendezése a fényképen. Szép a megvilágítása is a késő délutáni - kora esti napfénnyel. Tökéletes élesség, jó note!
Minden jót és szép tavaszt! :)
