A stunning and well-preserved castle. While not particularly large, its simplicity adds to its charm. The hike to reach it took about 45 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it.

Is the castle accessible for elderly guests or those with mobility challenges?+
The castle's medieval architecture means uneven terrain, stairs, and varying elevations. Discuss specific accessibility needs directly with the venue when inquiring.
