Wonderful Sunday Lunch. Highly recommend the beef and onions. Absolutely delicious - real comfort food. We saw a lot of other dishes and they all looked really good. We also shared the desert Kaiserschmarrm which was the best we have had in Salzburg. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. I would highly recommend this gorgeous restaurant ?

The famous restaurant very well known for its traditional Austrian style cooked beef was again a good experience. The service was polite, quick and competent without airs and graces. You fell very comfortable in the dignified atmosphere. All food was superb. I enjoyed this extraordinary lunch break very delighted.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
