Interesting historical site, it is a pity that it is not open to the public

Ramsberg Castle stands on the mountain of the same name between Donzdorf, Süßen and Reichenbach on the edge of the Swabian Albtrauf. Due to intensive renovations, it is in a very good condition and can also be entered up to in front of the inner courtyard. To give a bad rating for this, just because you are not allowed to enter the "private area", I do not consider it proportionate, which is why I give a full 5/5 points for the facility and the surrounding area with a great panoramic advantage to the left of the building (photo). We have a beautiful home!

Privately owned. Inaccessible. You see nothing except the back of the building. No view, no landscape. Getting there (on foot) is not worth it.

It's not worth the walk, it might be interesting if it's open to the public, it's privately owned

Um das Jahr 2000 hat offenbar das Land und oder der Landkreis mehrere Millionen DM gezahlt, um das einsturzgefährdete Dach zu retten. Ich finde es eine absolute Sauerei, dass hierfür öffentliche Gelder aufgewendet wurden, aber die Burganlange, dann nicht zumindest teilweise der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist.

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.
