A very beautiful path along the ridge, unfortunately there is not much of a view, but it is still worth it.

A beautiful little town with a church and a castle. The north-south long-distance hiking trail 05 and the Roman road 651 pass through here.

We stayed overnight in the castle on our long-distance hike from Hungary to Switzerland. We were impressed by the stylish room (do you say room in a castle?) and the good dinner. We can highly recommend this castle.
