There are really great places to rest at this hut, the benches are set up very carefully and you have a great view from here. It was also open today and the ice-cold drinks were good in the heat.

A beautifully preserved castle ruin with a great view and a castle room. It's worth a visit.

Very pretty castle ruins that were built on a volcanic vent. It is freely accessible, even now during C times. If you come out of the forest below at the bell tower / cemetery, you have a great view of the castle, but then you have to take a steep road up to the ruin (25%), it is practically in the middle of the village. There is also a castle tavern, currently only to-go, of course. In the castle there are also some nice seating areas for a rest.

Gigantic view. And I don't find the many wind turbines disturbing either. At least nicer than KKW's.
