02/26/2023 - Access to the castle on foot is either via many natural stone steps from the 17th century or an asphalted footpath, which is very steep in sections. Alternatively, there is a road that leads to a parking lot near the entrance.
The ruins themselves are very beautiful and the view is overwhelming. In summer there are also opera and theater performances here.

The facility has been used as an event center since the 1970s and is the venue for open-air opera performances in summer
