    Hiking

    A castle has existed on this spot for over 1,200 years and has witnessed centuries of gruesome history. During the Middle Ages, the castle was an important royal stronghold thanks to its strategic position overlooking the harbour.

    Although the castle is now a crumbling ruin of its former self, it's a great place to explore. It's free to enter, although donations are welcomed.

    Hiking

    Easy to get to, but the vegetation is strong and it looks like you can not get there. With sturdy shoes you can reach the place without problems and enjoy a view without power line.

    Hiking

    Look out for the black sheep surrounding the castle if you have a dog.
