Beautiful hike with great views of the Vinschgau and the Martell Valley ???

As described by other users, only a ruin of this guard post remains. However, the path to get there, also wanting to continue towards the castle itself, is so pleasant that I recommend it. Suitable for both trekking and cycling.

Small ruin, which can be reached via a footbridge at the beginning of the "cliff". Trails can be used by both mountain bikers and hikers. Through the ruin you can visit the underlying church and castle.

Always nice here. The bike trail down here is fun with its switchbacks. It's not long, but it's worthwhile to start or end the day and you have a beautiful view

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
