Innsbruck has the Palais Fugger-Taxis in the center, the Hofburg a kilometer away, Schloss Ambras (built 1563) 3 km out, Burgruine Thaur at 7 km and Burg Hasegg (1306) at 9 km. West along the Inn around Telfs are Schloss Petersberg at 739 m (13 km), the Risschloss (4 km) and Schloss Fernstein (19 km). Burgruine Ehrenberg, from 1290, stands at 1100 m, 12 km from Füssen in Bavaria.
RLQuest knows 82 castles and palaces in Tyrol, and 66 of them have a Wikipedia article, so this is a well-documented set. Elevations are part of the deal here: several sit well above the valley floor, which makes the walk up the quest. RLQuest records the route and confirms you reached the spot; the tiles along the climb fill in as you go.
Every dot is a place. The numbers mark the highlights listed below.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
