The Ringwarte is a lookout tower 30 meters high. 99 steps lead to the top of the tower, from which you have a fantastic panoramic view of the East Styrian hills. The ring watchtower was built in 1906 by the then mayor Raimund Obendrauf. In 2006, as part of the 100-year celebrations, the entire complex around the lookout tower was renovated and a new shelter was added. The archaeological circular route on the Ringkogel takes visitors along the former ring wall to six stations that provide information and images on the history of settlement and the construction of this important Celtic settlement.
