A beautiful castle that also presents itself well, from the lower path there are many beautiful views.
The path is not in the best condition and should also be taken back, alternatively up steeply to the castle.

However, you then had to survive a climbing route to get on. If you want to avoid that, it's better to go back a little bit …
