| Located in the heartland of the Austro-Turkish battlegrounds and by the river Mur, once an important trade route, Bad Radkersburg was an important centre for the Habsburgs and their strive to secure the south-eastern edge of Styria. Today, Bad Radkersburg is a popular tourist destination: In a very remote corner of Austria, just by the border to Slovenia and not far from Hungary, Bad Radkersburg occupies a beautiful spot.
It is part of the "Road of the Castles" (and thus described in the respective article here on TourMyCountry.com), and well-connected to several spas and good wine areas of Styria. Yet, the town doesn′t simply have a castle; it more or less IS a castle - and thus a good spot for top-notch sightseeing. Start with the Heimatmuseum or town museum, which will give you the historic background information that you will need to fully appreciate the town and the folk-stuff that comes as usual in the regional shades typical for the area where you currently are in Austria - in this case, of the Styrian kind. |
