The castle wall is preserved in its full length, but the ravages of time have damaged significant sections. Neglect and collapse have buried the outer wall and the remains of internal structures such as granaries and rooms, which are gradually being uncovered through archaeological excavations.

The trail literally begins here. There's a picnic area tucked into a cave to the left of the waterfall. It's worth a visit. When I went, there was a lot of water falling.
