Cultural Landscape of Koroška

Preserved walls and restored castles in some places, overgrown with ivy in others, reveal stories of the past and leave room for your imagination.

Characteristic Landscape Features

Ruined, ivy-covered walls of castles and fortresses stir the imagination about the past of these places. Stories about the lives of nobles, counts, bishops, and others offer you an opportunity to explore the past. The oldest remains from the 11th century can be found on the castle hill above Stari trg near Slovenj Gradec and at Irštajn on Paški Kozjak. Scattered hamlets and solitary farms in the hills, along with somewhat larger settlements in the valleys, shape the appearance of Koroška. Immerse yourself in the characteristic landscape features formed by people over many centuries.
