The path is very steep. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture. Be careful going up or down. Slippery and steep, especially in the upper section. There is a fence next to it, behind it a nice staircase, unfortunately it's a military area 🙁
At the very top the path is a bit overgrown.

Hiking

The ascent (or descent) of horror, not recommended, you're not doing yourself any favors. The Komoot map also suggests that you can enter the castle from the side, but that's not true; everything is locked and barricaded, and you have to laboriously walk around the castle to get to the main entrance.

Hiking

A very interesting place. Certainly not suitable for everyone, but if you dare you will get some adventure and thrills.
