Eat & Drink

Go traditional and sample the schnitzel at Ottoburg: Atmosphere abounds in this 900-year-old building. The Jagdschloss Kühtai, a 13th-century hunting lodge turned cozy hotel, is a must for lunch. Tip: seek out the cheese cave! Sweet tooth? Kroll’s sweet strudels will satisfy! 

Fun fact: Scandal of the era.

The 16th-century Ambras Castle was a present for Archduke Ferdinand II’s lover. She was untitled and not of royal blood. Shocking! Not only did he secretly marry her, he built her a castle where they lived happily ever after. Really! Don’t miss checking out the old world opulence of the Spanish Hall.
