A beautiful place with huge round boulders and the magnificent castle complex, where there is so much to discover! You should take your time to explore everything. I particularly liked the rock walk, with its beautiful views of the surrounding area, idyllic benches and narrow places to squeeze through. In this rocky environment, plants still find their place and trees wrap their roots around the boulders to get a hold.

Perched atop the mighty rocky massif of Mount Oybin, the ruins of an old castle and monastery stand enthroned. Quiet chants can be heard in the former church, as if the monks were still there.

I don't know of a more beautiful ruin, great 😎, the entrance fee is also ok.
If you want the Oybin for yourself, you should go through the gate shortly before the end of the game.
