This circular hike is not very long, but it does have some relatively wild and fairly steep sections. Largely through woodland, often on metamorphic rock paths, this route will take you to the surprisingly peaceful summit of hill 566, just a stone's throw from the town.
Moderator's warning on 24/09/2020: Please note! It is no longer possible to park in the car park and around the castle at the start of the hike
