The Arnstein Castle was first mentioned in writing in 1170. The first castellan and builder of the complex was Wichard von Arnstein, who was the feudal lord of Hohen Lindkogel and Peilstein at that time. The von Arnstein family owned the castle until the 14th century.

Beautiful clear spring, a little spot to rest😊

My local mountain. The birthplace of my great love for nature, mountains, and horizons. Under optimal conditions, the Velka Javorina, 156km away; 970m high on the Czech-Slovak border, can (theoretically) be seen as the furthest point. Exactly to the south is the Wechsel, further west the Schneeberg, Rax, Schneealpe, Obersberg, Gippl, Unterberg, Großer Zellerhut, Ötscher and then Reisalpe, Hochstaff and the Danube valley to the north.

A brilliant place to watch sunsets in the summer

Beautiful, quiet spot in the forest

The Triesting Bridge spans the river of the same name and connects the paths along the idyllic Triesting floodplains. From here, you have beautiful views of the clear water and the green river landscape. A tranquil spot perfect for a short break or a photo.

In 1763, a column bearing the image of St. Anthony of Padua stood above the source of the spring. Three years later, the first small chapel was built on the site. The first mention of the spring, "pey dem heyligen prunn," dates back to the 15th century. In the 17th century, the spring was still called "our dear women's fountain," and it wasn't until the 18th century that water, with "Antonius," became a men's affair. The chapel was repeatedly rebuilt or renovated, most recently in 1980 as an octagonal exposed concrete structure with a dome. The water is praised as completely germ-free and is especially recommended for families with children, who can experience water in all its facets in a floodplain landscape: as a healing, lively spring, a babbling brook, a clear, almost stagnant pond, or a muddy swamp. Filling the water into the concrete trough is easy; bottles fill instantly. The artesian spring is said to originate from a 200-meter-deep fissure. During the chapel's last renovation, the spring casing was also replaced, and a pumping station was installed to feed the water into the public water supply when needed. The water that can be drawn from the chapel's exterior wall also flows through the pump when it's in operation (mostly in summer).
