Legendary steep rock in the outer Pittental valley The rocky Türkensturz, which towers over the Pittental valley to the east, is a real sensation in the middle of the rolling hills of the Bucklige Welt. Its peak is crowned by an extremely picturesque ruin built in 1824 by Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein with the symbol of the crescent moon on its battlements. One of the boldest via ferratas around Vienna, the Pittentaler Steig, leads through the 100 m high, vertical west face of the mountain. However, the Türkensturz can also be easily reached from the village of Seebenstein to the north. Once you reach the summit, you have to take a look into the terrifying abyss into which local farmers are said to have plunged a band of terrorizing Turks.
