A castle with a campsite is rarely found. Yet this small, fine one is special among the motorhome pitches. Being mobile is a must here, as there is no catering. But plenty of space for guests in the green. The entire area around the castle is worth seeing.

There is also a small wetland nearby. You can observe newts or great diving beetles there.

A lovely restaurant set on spacious grounds. The tower can be climbed, and from here you can also access the high street. 👍🏻
