Castle of Arab construction, located near the Tavizna River on the road that goes from the forest to Ubrique. The path begins parallel to the Tavizna River and we must cross to the other bank and climb along a wire fence. The last stretch of your life to the castle is made of small, loose stone and is slippery.

Incredible route, somewhat hard for older people but the experience has been formidable

The views are more beautiful than what remains of the Castle, practically demolished. The ascent is a bit complicated and is not signposted. Good route for hiking but if you don't know it or don't have the Track on an app you may get lost, it is not signposted. It's worth getting to the top.

El castillo está en ruinas.Apenas hay unos cuantos muros en pie.Yo fui allí de senderismo y hay que subir bastante para llegar hasta él

Nice views from the top but not really worth the trek in July. All the paths were over grown and the were all spikey bushes or thorns. We pushed through out of pure stubbornness.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
