Currently, the palace, the formerly multi-story main building of a medieval castle, is being covered with a new transparent roof structure. A fantastic and very impressive construction.

A great tour that we really enjoyed. In order not to have to walk the same route to and from Hirnichopf twice, we walked the official hiking trail shortly after the start to Hirnichopf. A small trail with steps and lots of variety. When descending from Hirnichopf again on the "official" path, I had to say: "If I had had to go up here..." (a climb from here would definitely have made my pulse race). So it's better to use the official hiking trail shortly after the start. A short stop at the Metingerbeg restaurant also refreshed us. Otherwise the route was great and we liked the view! Thank you

Beautiful castle ruins. The inner courtyard is accessible and a small staircase a few meters high leads to a small viewing point with geological panels.
