Location plan
Starting at Peggau–Deutschfeistritz railway station, walk in the direction of the Peggauer Wand rock face, turn right into Alte Landstrasse and continue in a southerly direction to the foot of the ruins of Peggau Castle. The route is well signposted. Below the castle hill, experience the impressive natural spectacle of the Mitterbach waterfall, a landmark of natural beauty that radiates peace. Along the way you’ll also pass the Marienbründl spring, whose water has been attributed healing powers since time immemorial and which also has a splendid wayside tabernacle shrine. Peggau Castle, now a ruin and in private hands, is one of the oldest fortified castles in Styria.
