A well-preserved late medieval castle. It is well signposted in English, German, and Czech. Parking is nearby and there is good signage to guide you around the site and explain what you are looking at, plus it is free to visit.

Great way to spend a couple hours walking and exploring history. Easy to find a little elevated but a fairly easy walk. Bring water and snacks though. There is a portajohn/water closet at the top - kind of behind and inside the building next to the gazebo. Beautiful views from the top!

Beautiful! Easy hike even if you have kids. It was so peaceful and almost no one there so you could actually enjoy the scenery. Definitely a great day trip!

Beautiful views but I think I will be back in the spring/summer as I think would be more stunning with blue skies and clouds. We went in a cold winter day. My kids enjoyed exploring the grounds.

Awesome 900 yr old castle fortress ruins atop a volcanic peak that is accessible and is chock full of informational signs in multiple languages (is an example for others, in fact). Ample parking. Path someone rocky on top. Spectacular views. You can tell that this is the pride-n-joy of the nearby little town at its base. Worth a visit.
