Very beautiful castle located on a mountain, with the Bronner Cave underneath, the climb is very steep but the cave is really worth seeing. Signposted from the end of Buchheim

Beautiful castle, but it is a private house and cannot be entered. But it's a great photo opportunity on the Donauwelle hiking trail.

I don't understand a lot of the entries here...it IS privately owned AND inhabited by TENANTS, why should it be possible to just get in there? Do you let people into your home? It's like in a museum: look, don't touch!

It's impressive how this castle stands on the towering rocks. Great photo opportunity, I would be very interested to see what it looks like from the inside. Unfortunately it is closed as it is privately owned.

Nice castle. Worth a visit. There are many hiking and cycling trails in the area. Worth a visit. However, you cannot visit it.

Herceg Novi Old Town

Herceg Novi was founded (on a former small fishing village, existing since Roman Empire times) as a fortress in 1382 by first Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I and was called Sveti Stefan or Castelnuovo. The Turks conquered Herceg Novi in 1482, and ruled for 200 years, until 1687. However, there was a short pause between 1538 and 1539 when it was held by the Spaniards before they were defeated in the Siege of Castelnuovo. Turkey ruled again until 1687, from then until 1797, the town was ruled by the Venetian Republic.

The Herceg Novi old town is amazing. It is on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the sea. Wandering through the small stairways to the various plazas and fortresses is a many hour adventure.
