Kapfenberg

Kapfenberg is best known in Styria for Burg Oberkapfenberg, a medieval fortress standing above the Mürz valley. The Mürz River passes through this industrial town in northern Styria, where steep, wooded slopes rise closely around the built-up valley floor. Steelmaking has long shaped Kapfenberg’s identity, giving it a character distinct from Austria’s better-known Alpine resort towns. Burg Oberkapfenberg remains the city’s principal historic landmark, while the valley provides direct rail and road connections through the Mürztal.
