The Arnstein Castle was first mentioned in writing in 1170. The first castellan and builder of the complex was Wichard von Arnstein, who was the feudal lord of Hohen Lindkogel and Peilstein at that time. The von Arnstein family owned the castle until the 14th century.

Beautiful clear spring, a little spot to rest😊

My local mountain. The birthplace of my great love for nature, mountains, and horizons. Under optimal conditions, the Velka Javorina, 156km away; 970m high on the Czech-Slovak border, can (theoretically) be seen as the furthest point. Exactly to the south is the Wechsel, further west the Schneeberg, Rax, Schneealpe, Obersberg, Gippl, Unterberg, Großer Zellerhut, Ötscher and then Reisalpe, Hochstaff and the Danube valley to the north.

A brilliant place to watch sunsets in the summer

A very mystical and easily accessible summit, perfect for watching long sunsets in summer. The pine-covered mountain and rock face were already used to determine the date from afar during the time of the first permanent settlements, hence the name. At the Fuchshof farm in Nöstach, there is a calendar from which you can observe the sunrises over prominent points on the rock face from approximately November to March.
