Hiking
A castle has stood on this site since the 11th century and was originally built to protect against Viking invaders. The ruins you see today, however, are from the 16th century. The L-shaped tower is situated amid marshy farmland with a river flowing gently past. The little-visited castle is a very serene and atmospheric place to be.
