From the current castle, you can take an easy one hour hike up to the ruins of an older castle. Just follow the gravel road across the street from the castle and head upwards as the signs indicate. It’s a lovely walk and the ruins are a wonderful place to go for a picnic, as there are benches, fire pits, and beautiful views everywhere! Great option for families and the lovely local we ran in to on our way back down informed us that it’s never crowded or busy there so super relaxing all year round!

Not a beginner hike, as even if you take the road up most of the way, the last part of the hike on the forest path is fairly steep and could be difficult for true beginners. Definitely recommend the gloves and walking sticks! We hiked this with our five dogs and even though we weren’t prepared for the forest trail, it was well worth the effort. The first reviewers directions and advice are spot on!
