A landmark that is steeped in history and is visible from afar.

At the top you can see relatively little without a guide and there is no real vantage point into the valley. Only the St. Bartholomew Church from 1752, which is integrated into the castle, can be visited. You should therefore consider whether you really want to see the castle up close or whether the imposing picture from below is not enough.
