The remains of the castle are very sparse, but the view is great. The climb begins a little further east. There are several entrances to the river along the easy hiking trail.

For the round being so short, there are plenty of highlights. In addition to the gorge, the way up is absolutely fantastic. And another highlight is a visit to the castle ruins, from which Mann has an incredible 360° panorama of the surrounding area.
