Life is an adventure - A blog about traveling and friends

There’s nothing better than a lovely walk in a forest you’ve never been before, waiting any moment to see the ruins of a castle. Sometimes people use the castle for live action role-playing (LARP). The day was pretty good, not only did we visit another castle, but we also manage to find some mushrooms. It was my first time mushroom hunting in Austria.

This castle is one of the castles I always wanted to see after I moved to Austria, because when you look for photos online it just looks so pretty. Luckily, we decided to finally visit during one of the festivals that took place here. Castle Hochosterwitz is a nice example of a medieval fortress and stronghold, having 14 fortified gates. The castle had its own well, being well supplied with water in case of a siege. In addition, there is also a small chapel on the north side of the courtyard. In the afternoon, I’ve seen a bit of Klagenfurt, the famous Lindwurm Fountain and the Wörthersee Mandl.
