Fantastic walk and castle experience. There is a steep climb from within the town, right behind the church. Alternatively, walk along the river heading north east about 700m. There is then an easy path that goes back along the ridge line to the castle. Stunning views once you are up there.

To visit.. don't hesitate to walk up to the old fortress. And also to take off of the paragliding. Their ballet above the clift is amazing, colorful and windy. Beautiful view on the Naab.. paddlers and kayak.

If you want to head up the castle, you can either follow the signs in the town which will point you towards the stairs leading up. This path, however, is quite steep and not suited for those who are not good in walking. There is another path, however, which is way easier to walk. Once you see the wooden sign pointing towards the castle, just walk on until you leave the town. Head on for a bit more (you might spot a lot of gliders there) until you see a path leading towards the left. Follow this one and you will reach the castle. In front of the ruins you’ll find an art-piece and a fantastic view over the town itself. The castle is surrounded by a wall and you can enter them through the preserved gate. The castle was destroyed and abandoned in 1641. In the middle you find the tower, which you can actually climb. The staircase inside seems rather new and it’s in perfect shape. The view from the top is truly impressive. We walked down choosing the staircase path and that one truly was interesting. If you like a bit of a walk, combined with stunning views and interesting ruins, then this castle is the spot for you!

Absolutely beautiful! I recommend going on a Sunday less traffic and you can park at the Netto right before the bridge. The town is super cute and traditional. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes to hike up to the castle. Oh have a mask ready to enter the tower. There is small cafe right off the river ?
