Om
Hurtige fakta: The fortress dominates the skyline with its massive stone walls and imposing towers, offering panoramic views from its battlements. It served as a strategic military stronghold and a residence for powerful medieval counts.
Højdepunkter: Step inside the dungeon where prisoners once awaited fate and imagine the echoes of history in the stone corridors. Climb the narrow spiral staircases to the lookout towers and catch breathtaking views of the old city rooftops and the river flowing below.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as cobblestone paths and stairs can be uneven and slippery.
- Bring a camera for excellent photo ops from the top of the towers, especially at sunset.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter visit, as it gets busier then.
- Skip the audio guide if short on time; informational signs are well placed throughout.
