This was an amazing ruins experience. Completely free to visit and to park. It is quite the hike up to see. There is a very long easy path, a shorter steep path and also an off-road walking trail that is for the hiking experts. Beautiful views from the top of the hill.

Probably the best kept free castle site we've ever been to! So well kept, it's just a pity none of the buildings are open. It's such a nice castle, amazing views and great architecture, just a real shame you can't go inside any buildings. I would have happily paid to visit this site in full.

Pleasant sightseeing place with fine lookout to the town. And short but nice walk to the top. Worth a stop on your trip, but maybe not as the final destination.

What an amazing castle. Beautiful views , lots of green , grass and trees. Absolutely worth visiting! Visited on Tuesday and there was nobody else at the time . There also many benches on the way up as well as tables for eating in the castle itself. Great for picnic

Interesting castle ruins in the town of Heinburg. There are 2 ways to climb the mountain - on an asphalt road, but very steep, and on pathway, but longer and quite comfortable for climbing. Free entrance. A beautiful view of the city and the Danube opens from the mountain. There is a small free parking lot under the mountain

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
