Princes' Bench Viewpoint

Worthwhile hiking destination: here the path is actually the goal! A narrow path with great views. The descent to Müglitz is only recommended with hiking boots.

One of the most beautiful / picturesque castles far and wide! Harmoniously built, impressively located on a rock spur above the valley. The park with a very Italian flair.
