Stillfried an der March lies about five kilometres south of Dürnkrut and is known for settlement going back 30,000 years and the Museum Stillfried – Zentrum der Urzeit. Before or after a visit, lunch at Gasthaus Jana is a natural stop; the inn is open on Wednesdays and Sundays.
What makes Stillfried special?
The village is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Austria. In the late Bronze Age a fortified settlement with a massive rampart stood on the plateau above the March; finds range from Ice Age hunters' tools to the Middle Ages. The Museum Stillfried presents this history on site, including a section through the rampart preserved in its own display room.
How can a museum visit be combined with lunch?
Easily, as the times fit together. Gasthaus Jana cooks on Wednesdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; in season the museum opens in the afternoon. Lunch in Dürnkrut first, and Stillfried is a few minutes away. Please check the museum's website for current opening hours.
