Visited the historic vinné castle ?. About 1 and a half hours walk from the lake using the path through the forest, then road and back to the forest. Nice to hike .spectacular view when you reach the top .worth the while. Castle is still being reconstructed. Would recommend if you in the area ?

Very nice hike from the village of Vinne. A little bit steep but short.

Very nice castle ruins with beautiful view of the surrounding area and Zemplínska Šírava. They started the reconstruction, so there is a pretty big scaffolding around the walls. Hike is pretty short and not so hard - we went from Vinne village.

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
