Things to do in Landeck

  1. Zammer Lochputz

    A rollercoaster of water thrashes limestone cliffs at Zammer Lochputz, a fine specimen of a gorge just outside of Landeck. Cutting a path through pine forest, the trail passes viewpoints and some interesting rock formations – look out for the head of a bull and a nymph.

  2. Schloss Landeck

    Your gaze is drawn upward to the turrets and vine-clad towers of 13th-century Schloss Landeck. The 1st-floor museum showcases everything from Celtic figurines to handcarved Krampus masks. The castle is especially lovely at Christmas when the mechanised nativity scene is in full swing. For enviable views over Landeck and the Lechtaler Alps, climb the dizzying staircase to the tower.
