Burg … --- ## Evenings at the clifftop castle above the lake A 900-year-old clifftop castle, a panoramic view over the Ossiacher See and, on Thursdays, a seven-course menu by candlelight. Burg Landskron shows its finest side in the evening. In the award-winning Kronensaal restaurant, Alpe-Adria cuisine is served from 18:30 while the lights of the city on the Drava come on below. The candle-light dinner on Thursday is one of those evenings the locals do not talk about too loudly. ## What makes an evening at the castle During the day the castle grounds are open free of charge and offer a view of the Karawanken, the Julian Alps and the Ossiacher See. In the evening the mood shifts: live piano music, a sommelier who knows what he is talking about, and the illuminated town below you. ## Highlights at a glance - Castle grounds open free of charge, with a panoramic view - Award-winning Kronensaal restaurant with 2 toques in the Gault Millau and Alpe-Adria cuisine - Weekly candle-light dinner with a 7-course menu, on Thursdays in season - Burgstüberl with an open fire for cosy evenings - Can be combined with the Adlerarena and the Affenberg for a day trip beforehand ## Our insider tip Book early for the candle-light dinner.
