Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly quite a walk. The 180 steps lead up through the forest to the castle.

Well, perhaps the nickname of these stairs is a bit exaggerated, but in extreme heat, inexperienced pedestrians should take the shuttle bus up to the castle. The same applies to people with knee or hip problems when descending.
