We often use this place as a resting spot on our bike tours. In sunny weather, it feels like sitting in a maritime beer garden.

We were there on August 23rd, 2024 and were lucky that "Pizzera & Jaus" had an evening performance that very day. Therefore, we were able to get into the castle garden while the stage was being set up. A fascinating event location!
