Don't miss the breathtaking view from the bridge in the Steyrdurchbruch into the 40 m deep gorge of the Steyr and to the Art Nouveau power plant at the start of your trip. From there, the romantic, flower-rich "Prälatenweg" (No. 15) leads to Altpernstein Castle.Directions:
From the parking lot, follow marking No. 15 on the gravel road and turn left after one house onto a narrow path that leads over the Tiefengraben into the valley floor. Continue through a flat forest valley into the Oberer Wienerweg district. Then continue on the romantic Prälatenweg to Altpernstein Castle. Return via the same route, but you can also descend to Micheldorf. Return to the starting point by bus.Tip:
Altpernstein Castle has become a landmark of Micheldorf. It was built around the 11th century and shows visitors once feared castle dungeons, a large knight's hall, and the baroque castle chapel with the Pernsteiner Madonna. The castle is located on rugged rock faces separated from the mountainside by a deep gorge. The former drawbridge, which was secured by two defensive towers, was replaced by a stone bridge. The fortress changed owners frequently throughout its history. Since 1630, the castle has been owned by Kremsmünster Abbey.Additional information:

Zwischen Kirchdorf und Micheldorf liegt die hochgelegene Burg Altpernstein. Die Schlucht zwischen dem Burgfelsen und dem Berghang - sie ersetzt den Graben - wird von einer Steinbrücke überspannt und führt zu einem zweigeschossigen Torbau. Über dem Hausteinportal befinden sich zwei Öffnungen, die zur Aufzugsvorrichtung der Zugbrücke gehörten. Der Hof wird vom langgestreckten viergeschossigen Wohntrakt mit steilem Satteldach und dem fast ganz abgetragenen und verbauten Turm umschlossen. Im Hof selbst befindet sich ein Marmorbrunnen. Die Westseite der Burg war durch eine einfache Mauer mit vorgesetzten Türmchen abgesichert. Diese Anlage ist zu einer Aussichtsterrasse umgebaut worden.
Im Wohntrakt befindet sich der Rittersaal und eine Rüstkammer. Interesse erweckt aber der Vorbau, in dem die Kapelle untergebracht ist, vor allem wegen der noch heute gut erhaltenen, einst gefürchteten Verliese. Die Torflügel sind eisenbeschlagen, nur sind es keine gewöhnlichen Eisenbleche, sondern plattgeschlagene Harnische, wie man noch heute erkennen kann. Zur Sicherung des Zuganges wurden im gegenüberliegenden Hang zwei Türme errichtet; der untere ist ein Viereckturm, der volkstümlich "Pulverturm" genannt wird, der obere ist ein Rundturm.
Über die A9 – Ausfahrt Nr. 16 „Inzersdorf-Kirchdorf“ – B 138 bis Micheldorf, dann Bundesstraße verlassen - Auffahrt über die "Burgstraße" zur Burg.
Für detaillierte Routenanzeige bitte unten Ausgangsort eingeben.
ACHTUNG: viele Navigationsgeräte verorten die Adresse von Burg Altpernstein (Altpernstein 1) fälschlicherweise mit "Altpernstein 3".
Für Zufahrt zu "Altpernstein 1" (richtige Adresse) muss man in Micheldorf abzweigen! Viele Navis leiten aber fälschlicherweise bereits in Kirchdorf zu "Altpernstein 3" von der Bundesstraße weg. Leider gibt es zwischen "Altpernstein 3" und "Altpernstein 1" keine mit PKW befahrbare Straße, daher unbedingt darauf achten, in MICHELDORF die Bundesstraße zu verlassen und über die BURGSTRASSE in Micheldorf zur Burg hochzufahren.

Burg Altpernstein steht Hochzeitspaaren als Location zur Verfügung
Auf vielfachen Wunsch öffnet Burg Altpernstein ihre Tore für Hochzeitsgesellschaften. Vereinzelt haben bereits Paare auf der rund 1000-jährigen Burg, die über dem Kremstal thront, geheiratet. Deren positive Feedbacks wurden nun unter dem Titel „Romantische Burghochzeit“ in ein attraktives Angebot für Brautleute gegossen, das ab sofort über die Website gebucht werden kann.
Der Charme von alten Mauern, die für märchenhafte Fotomotive sorgen, gepaart mit vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, den Ablauf der geplanten Hochzeit an die eigenen Wünsche und Bedürfnisse anzupassen: das zeichnet die „romantische Burghochzeit auf Burg Altpernstein“ aus!
Für die verschiedenen Programmpunkte der Feierlichkeit findet sich auf Burg Altpernstein garantiert der richtige Raum. So können zB Ruhezonen eingerichtet werden, um gepflegt zu speisen und sich zu unterhalten, während nebenan ausgelassen getanzt wird oder junge Hochzeitsgäste sich im Kids-Club der Burg bei Billard und Tischtennis austoben.
Die Burg Altpernstein bieten Hochzeitspaaren die Wahl zwischen einer freien, kirchlichen und/oder standesamtlichen Hochzeit. Für entspannte Stimmung sorgt außerdem die Möglichkeit, in einem der 18 Doppel- und Mehrbettzimmer der Burg übernachten zu können.

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
