Tschakathurn – a small and somewhat strange-looking castle ruin. As strange as the name. If you don't know anything about her, you just drive past her on the road from Scheifling to Neumarkt without noticing her. It was first mentioned in a document in 1299, burned down in 1792 and has not been inhabited since. The small castle served as a checkpoint on the important transport connection to and from Carinthia.
Worth seeing: the very well-preserved fireplace, the partially preserved ceilings of the stone vaults and generally the somewhat unusual, bustling whole.
Die teils seltsame Farbegebung der Bilder in der Tour ist kein Fotofehler. Sie ist der Tatsache geschuldet, dass die Ruine Tschakathurn genau in den Tagen mit Föhnwetterlage und massivem Saharastaub abgelichte.
Help
The virtual tour is best experienced in full screen (double-click on the image or click on the button at the bottom right), on a large PC monitor with headphones or speakers. Under the mouse pointer (or when touching the touchscreen) some simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible. Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, on the right edge the music can be muted, a compass can be switched on or off and switched to English.
The information symbol displays further descriptions of what has just been seen.
If you activate the home button at the top edge of the image, you get to the aerial photo/overview and back again.
The tour, like all the others, can be experienced with VR glasses such as a Quest 3. No additional software required - simply enter the URL of this page in the glasses' browser, activate the VR button that is then visible there - and you're done.
