The first stone has stood on the next here since 1008... as a castle always undefeated! A real hiker's hit, including the surrounding landscape that is under nature protection

Hiking

Medieval castle ruins, which are impressive just because of their size. There are good views of the surrounding area from various places. Also of interest is the surrounding dry grassland landscape, in which the flowering pasque flowers and spring Adonis are noticeable in spring.
