About
Quick facts: Carved halfway into a 123-meter high cliff, this castle impressively merges natural rock formations with medieval architecture. Legend has it that its secret tunnel stretches over 7 kilometers, connecting it to the nearby village for escape and supplies during sieges.
Highlights: A secret cave system beneath the castle once served as a hidden passage for smuggling and daring escapes. Visitors can almost hear the echoes of legends where a knight famously held out against a 15-month siege using these underground routes.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes as some paths can be slippery and uneven.
- Capture dramatic castle views from the bridge below for stunning photos.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer quieter exploration times.
- Do not miss the multimedia presentation inside explaining the castle’s history and legends.
