Lowest (double) gate and thus the entrance for hikers who hike up from below to Hohenwerfen Castle

You have to hike to get to them; if you use the elevator you can't get past the lower gate.

To my shame, I have to admit that I took the elevator. This is my third time here, and I haven't gotten any younger. Between the gates are several plaques with entertaining texts about hunting ladies and some old "painted cloths" about hunting. From the first or outer gate onward, it becomes difficult for an attacker to storm the castle, even with armor, because it climbs steeply uphill to the inner courtyard. Since there are only a few loopholes in the second gate, the attacker has plenty of time while the defenders need to reload.
