A longer hike was actually planned in this area for Sunday. Unfortunately, the weather didn't play along and so this turned into a fantastic evening stroll in the sun. A rough and wonderful landscape and then a great waterfall and a beautiful castle ruin. Almost all of the paths are single trails. A really great short circuit.
