Burgruine Thal
Austria
You reach the ruin on a hill ridge in the hamlet of Linak, within the market town of Thal in Styria. The ridge runs north to south between the Kirchberg and the Thalersee, and the ground tells you which way the builders feared attack: it falls away steeply to the north and east, more gently to the south and west. Signs and maps may call it Thal or Unterthal; both names refer to the same hilltop castle, abandoned at the start of the 17th century and left to decay ever since.
