Hidden castle. Not so well known, but all the more fantastic!

Finally, a single-lane road leads to this highlight and you can park in a larger parking lot. Then the hiking trail begins up the mountain and then comes the dream backdrop of the three castle ruins. The heathland, the lake and the ruins are simply a dream. This place has now been discovered by several people, but is not yet overcrowded.
