Accessibility

Visiting with disabilities

Visiting with disabilities

Habsburg Castle is only partially barrier-free due to the historical nature of its buildings. We are happy to assist people with disabilities during their visit.

Getting here

We generally recommend arriving by car. The steeply sloping access to the castle courtyard is closed off with a barrier. Visitors with reduced mobility may enter the courtyard (please use the intercom).

We kindly ask you to park your car afterwards at the official, free car park about 200 metres below the castle. There are no official parking spaces for people with disabilities.

Getting here

Travel by public transport is not recommended for persons with reduced mobility. Bus lines only run to the village square. The ascent from the bus stop to the castle is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Access to the castle

Due to the historical nature of the building, parts of the castle complex and larger exhibition areas can only be reached via stairs.

The courtyard with the castle restaurant is gravelled but wheelchair accessible.

  • Blind and visually impaired visitors: The exhibition is only suitable for blind and visually impaired visitors with an assistant. There is no Braille labelling.
  • Hearing impaired: The exhibition does not have an induction loop system. On the Habsburg Kings' Route and in the exhibition there is a lot of written information about the castle and family history.
