    Hiking

    The remains of an old castle can be explored here and the surrounding area can be viewed from great vantage points.

    "Natural monument Pusty zamek (Fredewald Castle) The strange and unique internal geological structure of the tertiary Klingstein rock was covered up during the construction of country roads and railways in the second half of the 19th century. Horizontal stone columns up to 25 meters long reach an average height of 1.85 meters" (Source: information board on site)

    Hiking

    The basalt cliff of the Zámek pusték (Desert Castle) towers high above the valley; (almost) nothing of the castle remains. The name "Fredewald" is probably a misnomer.

    Horizontal stone columns up to 25 meters long can be found there, some reaching up to 1.85 meters in diameter.
