Its well-preserved medieval old town centers on the Hauptplatz, lined with colorful Renaissance and Baroque facades, and is crowned by the imposing Horn Castle, now a museum and cultural venue. The surrounding countryside offers gentle hiking and cycling routes through vineyards, forests, and past picturesque villages.
