Parking is roughly 700m from the castle with a walkway of loose stones to get to it. There is parking closer for those that need it. However, if you are not steady in your feet then maybe give this...

We loved this place and spent three hours total exploring the ruins. The castle has been brought back to life with a lot of love and many details have been added to tell about its past and the people who lived there. The whole place almost comes to life! Especially the caves and information on murals were interesting. Beautiful views around the valley, you can even go up to the tower. Can highly recommend this for history lovers!

This castle was founded in the 12th century or so and its primary function back then was to protect the abbey. It’s tower back then was wood but later changed to stone keeps. The castle has been under renovations since the early 90s and continues today. It’s definitely a place to go see if you are in the area. It’s a beautiful sight to see but you do have to do a lot of walking.
