An incredible raptor show awaits. The old castle location is beautiful. There are excellently prepared and posed, but sadly sun-bleached taxidermy specimens on display inside the castle.

The castle offers a pretty cool birds of prey show at 11 am and 3 pm every day except Monday. Entry costs 10 euros for adults and in that price is also included a visit to the small but nonetheless interesting museum. There's also a restaurant that can only be accessed with an entry ticket to the castle; food is decent but the prices are a tad too much for what is offered and the waitresses seem in a rush to get rid of people as fast as they can. If in the area, I'd recommend doing a circular hike to all three castle ruins: Rosenburg, Rabenstein, Tachenstein; it takes about an hour and a half and there are great viewpoints.

We love doing this trip every year. The kids enjoy the show, and it is exciting to see. Staff are kind and so many awesome birds to see. Even with the show being only in German we still have a great time.

Interesting all around. The Burg has a self walking tour with local history and animals that have been preserved. Cafe/restaurant/beer garden offers good food and drinks. Toilets are modern and clean. But the absolute highlight is the birds and the show. It was very informative.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
