The ruins are visible from afar. However, you can't drive directly to them. You have to leave your bike in the parking lot and then walk to the ruins.

Rest area in Pernitz with the much-discussed figure of the "upright Trangler," donated by the Pernitz Beer Association (which no longer exists). 🙂

Nice trail along the slope, but then a very steep, impassable descent that is technically very demanding.
