A beautiful ruin. But what I think is most beautiful is the view. Enjoy the sunset up there in the evening. The path wasn't great at the moment. Everything was soaked by tractors or something and it was raining.

Very nice route through the forest, where you should be good on foot ?. Another, smaller sight not to be missed and worth a visit, especially since it is relatively easy to reach.

Steep slope to reach the top but nice views and atmosphere. Picknick spots available.

Beautiful sceneries on the way to the hiking destination. Enjoy some of the best the Rhön region of Germany has to offer. Bring a picnic and enjoy a nice afternoon overlooking the rolling hills of Central Germany.

Excellent place to go for a walk, picnic or just for the fun of knowing the history of the place. The view from there is beautiful, from there you can see the monastery of the crosses in the distance.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
