Absolute beauty to be destroyed by crowds. That's not a problem if you like being on the subway. Unfortunately, the main attraction was closed. That's why I think 3 stars out of 5 is enough if nobody writes about it anywhere. I will go again when it rains, there won't be so many tourists and I will enjoy it much more. Parking is 0% because even with free spaces, cars are blocked on the road probably to the delight.

Totally worth the 2,50€ entrance fee. Less crowded and really great view on the inside of the castle remnants. The bridges are a bit fragile though. One stated only up to 4 ppl at once.

The main highlight is the clear view of the bridge, away from the crowd. The ruins of once an impressive castle built on the sandstone formation which dates back to 12th century. Although not much left there today, but still you can see a small model of how the entire castle was standing during its era. Small bridges and passages to walk through. Not suitable for people afraid of height. A nice detour, for only 2.5 Euros and you get scenic views and another perspective of the sandstone valley around. Due to the entrance fee, most of the people avoid coming, but it is worth it.

2.5€ per adult. It’s really worth visiting although the castle is completely gone. If you have high fear, better be prepared for a few the narrow bridges.
