In the meantime (at least in summer) it unfortunately tends to overgrow. Otherwise: Nothing holds up here, at least no pedestrian traffic. In that respect, nice to look at... and move on.

I agree with the previous commentators (including "Teufelchen New"), the view is heavily overgrown in summer. A good alternative with a view of the castle is from the bench on the serpentine further down in the direction of the Jahn monument.
