You have to do some serious climbing (no equipment required), but it's worth it: a magnificent view over the vast landscape.

You have to hike to the castle, and you have to do it over this hill. The view alone would be reason enough. A magnificent place.

The bench stands alone and solitary at the highest point of the hill. Prime spot: plenty of space and a great view.
