Ruine Puxer-Loch, Cave castle in Teufenbach-Katsch, Austria.
The Puxerloch consists of two adjacent cave castles, Luegg and Schallaun, built within limestone cliffs on the southern slope of Pleschaitz mountain.
First documented in 1181, Schallaun castle changed ownership through several noble families until its decline in the 16th century.
Local tales tell of a knight from Chalons who constructed Schallaun after seeking refuge in the cave with a Saxon princess during Charlemagne's reign.
Reaching the castle requires a 30-minute hike from the Mur River parking area, with the final 50 meters demanding careful navigation on steep terrain.
The castle complex includes subterranean passages extending hundreds of meters, incorporating natural cave formations into medieval defensive architecture.
