Hiking

When on the top, It can get very windy, but it’s extremely beautiful, so don’t hesitate to go.

I would suggest to arrive to the top for the sunset, the sun will disappear just behind the castle’s structure .

Hiking

You can climb to the westernmost end of the rocky spur on which the castle stands. Very windy, but very beautiful.
