Grafenstein

Its historic jewels include amongst other things the 17th century Grafenstein Castle, which is privately owned by the Orsini-Rosenberg family, or Saager Castle, in which the sculptor and painter Giselbert Hoke found a centre for his creative work. The Romanesque church of Saint Anna in Saager once inspired the Carinthian impressionist landscape painter Markus Pernhart, who eternalised the church building on a hill in one of his pictures. Grafenstein is a good starting point for journeys of discovery in romantic natural surroundings – whether you are hiking, cycling or fly fishing.
