Highlight • Parking

The sign on the road that points to this parking lot on a farm can only be seen quite late...

Great viewpoint ruined castle right on the cliff edge. Some rooms still visible, but take care it's not an easy path and walls look cracked. Gives you a good insight into what it have been like to live in.
