Incredibly beautiful little place full of medieval charm. The (quite short) tour here is definitely worth it - try to use all the paths on the map - it's worth it. The castle is currently being renovated, but is simply impressive even from the outside.

The castle can be seen from afar and a visit to the old village on a prominent hill is worthwhile.
