Burgstall Hagenfels

Located between two mountain streams at 750 meters altitude, the castle complex spans 500 meters with a central residential tower and multiple fortifications.

Built in 1378 under the commission of Provost Ulrich I Wulp, the fortress served as a strategic control point until its conquest by Salzburg forces in 1384.

The archaeological findings at Hagenfels reveal medieval construction techniques through its 10-by-10-meter tower base and extensive defensive wall structures.

The remains of Hagenfels castle can be accessed through hiking paths that lead through the northern foothills of the Lattengebirge mountain range.

Archaeological investigations in 2004 uncovered that the castle complex included an 800-meter-long transit road running through its entire structure.
