Seebenstein
Seebenstein is a small village in the Pitten valley, in the Bucklige Welt hills of southern Lower Austria. A medieval castle stands on a rock above the village, and forest trails lead to caves and viewpoints.
The village is quiet and local. It suits a half day trip from Vienna, with a castle visit and a walk, and works as a stop on the way to the Semmering.
