The Thaur castle ruins are a piece of history in a breathtaking landscape. The ruin is located directly on a hiking trail, just a few minutes' walk from a forest parking lot and can also be reached by bike.
The castle has been documented since the 13th century, but most likely dates from the late 12th century. In summer, the ruins are often the scene of theater performances.
A visit to the ruins can be combined with short or longer hikes. A short hike leads from the forest car park past the ruins to the nearby Romedius Church, next to which there is also a good inn. However, the church itself (a pilgrimage church) is usually closed.
