Tough hike if you take the wrong way, nice view from the top. Sad to see a few of the information boards missing.

Bohuslav Burghardt (4 years ago)
Very nice views. A lot of places to just sit around and enjoy the nice weather. There are several hiking paths leading to the ruins from Mödling.

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.
