Wander cobblestone streets lined with Gothic and Renaissance buildings, dominated by the imposing Petersberg fortress. This living museum offers hands-on history: watch a blacksmith forge iron, try your hand at medieval coin minting, or climb the fortified tower for panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The town's vibrant main square, with its colorful facades and inviting cafes, is perfect for people-watching. Don't miss the Friesach City Museum for deep dives into local lore, or the summer open-air theater performances within the castle walls.
