The way to the castle is especially exciting with children, as they are allowed to climb the castle on a knight path. Eight life-size knight figures made of wood show the children the way to the castle and definitely serve as motivation. The knight figures tell of their knightly life and a little bit of ascent is done again. By the way, every knight has a godfather who looks after the knight.

Lots of little information about different knights and their time. At the top of the castle you can do a little puzzle. So it's worth it

Interestingly designed path, on which the knights report on their deeds and misdeeds along the way.
