Unfortunately not accessible. Inside everything is overgrown. The best view is from a distance

A stop is definitely worth it. There are sandwiches and drinks for little money. This finances the castle association.

After you have visited the stone castle extensively, you can stop in a hut on the meadow below the ruin. A snack and refreshing drinks make the trip perfect.
