Hiking

Beautiful, well-restored castle ruins with a great view. There is also a place to stop for refreshments right at the castle.

Hiking

Very pretty castle ruins that were built on a volcanic vent. It is freely accessible, even now during C times. If you come out of the forest below at the bell tower / cemetery, you have a great view of the castle, but then you have to take a steep road up to the ruin (25%), it is practically in the middle of the village. There is also a castle tavern, currently only to-go, of course. In the castle there are also some nice seating areas for a rest.
