I saved this part of the tour for last, since I thought it's the least interesting. By now, you've seen all you essentially need to know about the castle. The following pictures take you on a short walk around outside of the castle walls. By the way, the sign on the left says "Do not throw stones. Danger of killing valley inhabitants. Violators will be held responsible." This is the youth hostel's playing field. This is one of the watchtowers. The watchtowers are not connected with the main building. The second watchtower. Part of the castle's backside, mostly the newly built part. This looks like a tower, but it's actually just a tower-shaped extension of the main building. This is the back wall of the 950 year old part of the castle. There's a strip of grass, and after a few meters, the ground drops downhill *rapidly*. Luckily, there are lots of trees that are likely to stop your fall if you ever stumble across the edge :) Here we stand, with our back to the castle wall, admiring the scenic view. This is also the end of our tour. We hope you enjoyed it! Go back to the vaults Home
