About 200 Japanese macaques roam free on the hillside below Burg Landskron, 7 km north of Villach. Visitors walk through the colony on a guided path; the animals are habituated but wild. The Adlerarena bird of prey show at the castle above runs concurrently in season. Combined, the two activities fill a half day easily. Open April to October, daily from 9:00. Adults pay around EUR 16-18. Car access is easiest from Villach. Pair with the Faaker See or Ossiacher See for a full Carinthian day.
