Burgruine Klöch
Austria
Burgruine Klöch sits on a steep basalt hill above the village of Klöch, in the south-eastern corner of Styria, close to the Slovenian border. It was built as a hilltop fortress, a defensive castle rather than a country seat, and in its day it counted as an important border stronghold. What survives is a ruin, but a lived-in one: since 1997 the municipality has used it for events such as castle plays, and a viewing platform now crowns the old tower, so you climb not just into the past but up for the view across the border country.
