Adlerarena Burg Landskron, Bird of prey zoo at Landskron Castle, Villach, Austria.
Adlerarena Burg Landskron is a bird of prey facility at a medieval castle near Villach, housing eagles, falcons, and owls within the historic grounds. The location uses the castle ruins and offers views across the Carinthian valley.
Landskron Castle dates to medieval times and once served as a regional fortress. The raptor center later developed to protect endangered species and educate the public about these birds.
The flight shows reveal how these predatory birds hunt and behave in nature. Visitors watch eagles and falcons demonstrate their natural skills during performances.
The facility is best visited between May and September when weather is warm and performances run regularly. Sturdy walking shoes are recommended since the grounds are on slopes and explored on foot.
The birds fly freely above the castle grounds and land on the handlers' command, displaying authentic hunting behavior. This natural flight training gives visitors a direct sense of how these animals actually behave.
