Beautiful castle ruins from the 12th century easy to reach on foot

Was a little disappointed. The path was very difficult, uneven and overgrown. Was a challenge.

Unfortunately, we were only able to visit one of the ruins of the Roggenbach Castles (Roggenbach Castle) because the paths to the other were closed. The access road was extremely overgrown when we visited and in some places the path had slipped a bit. We had actually expected a somewhat larger ruin. It wasn't a comfortable place to rest either.

The ruins that are visible from the road and look impressive. Parking is right behind the bridge, not far to go and the climb is not difficult. With a stroller, unfortunately, no way, small children are only in their arms, because there is a narrow path with tall grass. The view from the ruins is amazing, none of the towers can be climbed. There is a place for a barbecue if you take everything with you. From these ruins, the tower of other ruins is visible, but we did not reach the second castle. Recommend to visit

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
