Friesach

Friesach lies along the Metnitz River in northern Carinthia, where wooded hills rise around one of Austria’s best-preserved medieval towns. Sections of defensive walls, towers and a water-filled moat remain in the historic centre, recalling the period when Friesach prospered under the Archbishops of Salzburg. Above the town stand the ruins of Petersberg Castle, once an important ecclesiastical stronghold. Each year, the Spectaculum Friesach fills the old streets with medieval crafts, music and performances. Discover how Friesach sits within northern Carinthia by browsing webcams nearby.
