Sienna M
★★★★★a year agoThis castle was so cool as a tourist in Innsbruck, although the climb up was a little taxing. There are some informational signs posted but no English translations so be prepared to translate if you don’t speak German. Overall definitely glad I made the journey, I was staying in Innsbruck and it was also cool to see the Thaur neighborhood on our way to the castle
