One of the Best Places To Visits in Sankt Johann Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. This was very nice and the inside was so well kept. It was a joy doing the as well as not being able to take pictures helps you stay focused on the tour. We only had to wait because the started 45 minutes from when we arrived. Our was so nice and so was the ticket seller. The entire experience was pleasant and me and my friend didn’t have to travel far to get there! We had expected more but were somewhat disappointed. The conveyor belt of weddings we witnessed didn't detract from our visit, slightly incongruous though they may have been, I imagine tourists were more off-putting for the bride & groom than the other way around. Visits are by guided only, which is quite a thing, no photography inside, which I also applaud. Tours however are only in German, with no translation or written explanation, which isn't great if you're not German. We speak schoolchild type conversational German (we're English so that's actually quite good!) but it doesn't allow us to follow fast spoken tricky language. We missed out on a lot. Also, there's nothing else there. No grounds, well there are a couple of laid-out gardens but he gates are locked, & it's not possible to walk around. No cafe, no coffee, more to the point no beer, so having done the tour, understood practically nothing which we couldn't work out for ourselves visually, we left, a bit let down. Had a private as we were the only guests in February. Because German is not our native language the took real care to speak slowly so we could take in as much information as we could. Great little with all original features and furniture. Not too amazing, just a like any other German from the same time-period. Nice location though, to combine with a hike or visit to any of the vulcanic areas. I went here as a faan of indiana jones, this castle, sorry to say: was not worth the money or the tour. If you like me comes here too have an exciting making of-indianajones experience. Boring Only Germanspeaking guides, no photos inside. And only a supershort anecdote on the Indiana jones filming. The old statsi-man in the ticketboth, killed my excitement immediately! -No photos inside! JaVohl !! -No EnglishSpeaking guide! -And we will hafe no falling on the stairs or bumping your head! Aaand I don’t speak English either! And then he only spoke German after those words. I understand German fine, so I understood the tourguide well. But the castles story was very boring, and the guides didn’t do anything to make it exciting.. Too bad! This could be a moneymaker, if they did some work on the whole experience.. The only BIG PLUS on this Castle, -is its outside beauty! (Too bad the garden isn’t much to see but a few pyramid pines).. The other reviews are wrong! This isn’t a funny interesting one! Go to Eltz instead! 🤠👍 Absolutely top visit. Very through the with a very knowledgeable guide. Unlike Eltz this is only moderately visited. A bit regrettable is that photography inside the is forbidden. Great well preserved castle. was only in German though. Beautifully preserved (two castles really). Entrance fee was 10€ for two adults and two children. Fee you to see inside the and it was worth it! Please note that there are no pictures inside the castle. Awesome tour! Unfortunately I missed the last English of the day, but my was enough to give me a one on one English after we finished. Well preserved with really tour. Tours are in German, but we got lucky with our and he would present in German and then offer to answer questions for us in English. He definitely went above and beyond. Lots of little details around every corner. I would definitely recommend. We had a great day. The is in Germany, but the your did try his best, and we understood the basics. The inside is beautiful and really worth the 5 euro, even if you can't really understand. X Looks nice on the outside but your only able to explore half the and not the half either. You can't go up onto the Tallest tower, poorly furnished and unrealistically so too, Fee was 10€ But if your not into all the information of the old people who lived there I wouldn't recommend, Very boring and the only, Decent, Things to look at where the grandfather clocks and the few other clocks I have a big problem with those places who don't post on their website that "you are not to take pictures inside". As a fair-player I'd like to know before I pay that are some rules and one of them is that: no photos are to be taken. It's stilling the joy and simultaneously I found it rude to be admonished that I "don't know that thing. Duh!" Everything the told us, I've already saw on YouTube,last night, more detailed and with more interesting facts. The fact that the guy was wandering alone inside and filming made me think that it's acctually a fact and we will have time to capture some details. I don't say it's not interesting to see. No! I say that it's interesting when you are in rent, bored and you add a little "hike" to see something. It doesn't add nothing just seeing, some people root their experiences and that's why many are extremly disappointed that it's just a sterile walk. I took my disappointment and disagreements out, took some shoots and that was all. It's not the place, but the people and their interests that makes you feel extremely sad. We should preserve, off course. But nowdays everyone use the excuse of copyright. Have they ever heard of FAIR USE, that allows limited use of copyrighted material for purposes like criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research, but only under specific circumstances? I guess not. So, yeah! I will not be 100% subjective if I don't recommend this place. Why? Well, because it's not suited for photographers, for vlogs, for individuals seeking to recommend this place for a visit. I guess the "owners" should be more flexible in those times and more open-mind. ✌️ Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
