Soukromý nepřísrupný hrad. Kolem něj vede značená turistická cesta. Asi 500 m nad hradem jsou další stavby vtesané do skály, obrazy svatých, poutní místo a krásný výhled na hrad, do údolí i na okolní hory. Z tohoto místa se dá dále pokračovat několika dalšími cestami do hor. Koncem března tu kvetou bledule, podlésky, sasanky a začínají kvést petrklíče.
