Your family outing back to the Middle Ages

The adventure for young and old at Hohenwerfen adventure castle

There are fantastic demonstrations with birds of prey, an exciting rally quiz for children, guided tours for adults and children, special exhibitions and lots of fun. The 900-year-old fortified castle in the Pongau region of Salzburg makes the Middle Ages come to life and is one of the area’s most popular destinations for families with children. The adventure castle is perfect for a day out in the Salzburg countryside. 

Please note: Access to the castle with a stroller is limited!

Children’s audio guide

Have fun and learn

Children have their own ways of learning and exploring, so at Hohenwerfen adventure castle we have developed special audio guides that are fully tailored to children’s needs. We currently have children’s audio guides in German, English, Italian, Dutch, Danish and Hebrew. The audio guides are distributed in the castle courtyard at the start of the tour.

Rally Quiz for children

Adventurous discoveries

With the help of the clever falcon Alonso, the kids go on a thrilling rally quiz, interactively solving the secrets in the shadows, and are rewarded with a small surprise. The young adventurers have to solve tricky tasks at various exciting stations. The hunters of the skies then show their unparalleled skills in a fantastic demonstration of birds of prey. The quiz book is available for € 2,00 at the ticket window.
