    Not much is left of the castle. Only a small remnant of the wall, a few mounds of rubble from the dilapidated buildings and the moat remind us that a castle once stood here.
    A climb is worth it because of the magnificent view of the valley and the surrounding rocks!

      Really great view, even if there is not much left of the donkey castle.
