Only a few minutes' walk from the centre of the town, you can find a new world of adventure in the Garnet Gorge, with the "stone of love and passion".
On the trail of old miners, you will be swept away into the realm of the precious garnet stones in the Nock town Radenthein. Visitors of the GRANATIUM Garnet Centre will learn everything worth knowing about the carbuncle.
You can search for garnets on the garnet-prospecting grounds. The stones you find can then - just as you like - be fashioned into jewellery gems or other souvenirs, either by yourself or a professional.

Experience the Middle Ages first-hand at the Sommeregg Castle
The largest torture museum in Central Europe is open from April to October in the knight's hall of Castle Sommeregg (near Seeboden). More than 100 exhibits,
which are true to the original and complemented by scientifically elaborated texts, document the Medieval and early Modern Age history of law. Every year inAugust, the castle turns into a medieval microcosm. Centre stage is taken by the Medieval market, which was designed with great attention to detail and where seemingly long-lost handicrafts are revived. Among other things, glass sculptures are blown and silver jewellery is produced in front of the eyes of amazed visitors. A further highlight are the medieval games, in which knights have to prove their skill and courage in a tournament.
