Great spot... not so quiet when the restaurant is open, as the beer garden is across the street. (Open Thursday to Saturday from around 5 p.m. and Sunday only for lunch.) The chapel is very beautiful, as is the path further on.

The castle courtyard and its well are open all year round, as is the keep, which has been converted into an observation tower, from April to October. From there, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Alps in certain weather conditions.
