Klammstein Castle near Dorfgastein

Burg Klammstein in Dorfgastein, Austria
I often pass Klammstein Castle (Burg Klammstein) on my train journeys through the Gastein Valley (Gasteinertal). In earlier times, this fortification blocked the valley in the north.

At that time, it served as a toll station for the traffic passing the Gasteinertal. Today it houses a museum about the castle’s history and the valley. By the way, you find next to the car tunnel depicted above another tunnel for cyclists and walkers only.
