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

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
