“Zamek zamkiem, nic ciekawego. Warto zapłacić i wejść dla samych widoków. Punkt widokowy jest niesamowity, a dodatkowo jak wejdzie się na wieżę, to już w ogóle jest przewspaniale. Podejście do samego punktu jest tragiczne, potrzebne są dobre buty, ale naprawdę warto się zmęczyć, zwłaszcza jeśli ktoś wybiera się na zachód słońca ❤️”
