A large castle/ruin complex that is freely accessible. Beautifully maintained (e.g. mown lawn), lots of benches to rest on. There are a few steep sections when going up, so sturdy shoes and surefootedness are an advantage.

Information for people with dogs beyond the "I'll just pick him up and carry him" 🤪 No perforated grilles, no ladders, everything made of wood. My dog managed it well (51 kilos). Small recommendation: walk up the gorge from the entrance. A few steps are a bit steep and long, I think going down is more difficult than going up 🙂 in places it is a bit narrow but there are enough places to pass each other. Entrance fee 6 euros

The gorge circular trail is really highly recommended. However, you should be sure-footed and wear good shoes. We found a stick for climbing up and down to be very helpful. The trail is very well signposted.
