kufstein fortress印象

We were staying in Kitzbuhl and the weather was miserable, so we looked for places to visit. Kufstein was suggested, so away we went. We found a nice parking station very close by and went to visit. We did not know about the organ and thought all the people were waiting for funicular to go up. Only after the concert was finished did we know about it. The castle was fantastic from dungeon to the tower. Lots to see about so many aspects of the castle history as well as great views. We ate in courtyard which was pleasant and reasonably priced. If you are near by, go visit.

Great fortress - well worth the visit, with great views from the top. Don;t miss the organ concert every day at the base of the funicular. At mid-day there is a 20 minute concert where the console is at the base of the fortress and the actual organ pipes way up above you in the tower. Amazing sound and a real surprise!

An enjoyable, self guided tour with both German and English signage. It cost me 11 euros and it included the glass elevator ride to the top and all the exhibits. You can also walk up to the castle but it is the same price. The castle it's self is over 800 years old. There is a museum of torture devices well explained and a bit graphic. Very interesting. Another smaller museum with knight's armor and some misc pieces such as coins and dishes. There is another area with cannons. The fortress now houses the City Museum of Kufstein. Part of it is also used for concerts and meetings. They have a nice set up for wedding receptions that can accommodate a large number of people or a smaller room for a smaller event the is very beautiful. There is also a small cafe there to get refreshments while touring the castle. The views from the castle are spectacular with the Alps and the Inn River. We stayed at the hotel that is at the base of the castle so I just walked. There is parking in the area that is within a easy walkable distance. I believe it is close to a bus stop also.

The castle is cool to look at and take in the views from but the best part is the Organ which is played daily around noon. There are seats at the bottom of the hill where you can watch the organ up in the fortress be played.

We were lucky to have arrived just in time for the daily playing of the "largest organ in the world" at noon. We purchased our tickets €8 and got the glass elevator right to the top... Following out map we visited all areas steeped with history. We also came across the torture museum which was disturbing.We spent 2hrs at the fort which was plenty.

Visited on a cold damp December morning which did not distract from our overall enjoyment of looking around the fortress.The battlements give great views over Kufstein and the river Inn below providing great photo opportunities in conditions that made the river appear turquoise in colour.Pathways were mainly over cobbles which could be slippy when wet but in places there were handrails.There were a number of interesting exhibits one in particular being an unusual pipe organ spread over two floors which is regularly played at noon daily.If one is energetic you can walk up or down to and from the fortress or take the lift included in the entry fee.Would recommend a visit for the views alone.

This is a stunning building that has a fascinating history. The views of the town, river and mountains are stunning. You are free to roam through long tunnels cut through the rock that this fortress is build on and visit the prison cells and the remains of the watch room that the Bavarians broke into to get in the castle. So, you get a good feel for what life here, was like rather than being in a staged museum. Most of the exhibits have German text next to them. There is an app to help and I think it's available in English but my phone couldn't connect.

This was open on Xmas day and we walked up and got the lift back down again. There is so much to see here, tunnels and battlements and cannons. Great for a walk before Christmas day lunch is served at our hotel.

one of the nicer, well-kept castles I have visited, would definitely recommend as the number one thing to see in Kufstein (in addition to the daily performances on the Heldenorgel).

We spent a couple of hours exploring this Fortress. Great views across Kufstein. Not a fancy castle like some in Austria, it was, as its name suggests, a military fortressand is very interesting to wander around at your own pace. Don't miss the underground passageway and, of course, there is the organ playing in entrance courtyard.
