The medieval "moth" is completely unspectacular, but historically significant. It is considered to be the foundation of a former two- to multi-story tower hill castle, which was surrounded by a ring moat, the remains of which can still be seen. A notice board explains what the facility probably looked like.

Take a closer look ... the benches not only invite you to linger, but also to reflect.

Overfrequented? Might depend on the time and the weather. I was here often and almost always completely alone.
