Interesting castle out in the woods. Great views from the tower. There is a covered shelter just outside the castle that is great for a picnic lunch.

Nice place when travelling around Telc, Trest, Jihlava. It is visible that the castle is well taken care of, there is tourist "fast food" inside with beer and cold drinks, small parking place and many cycle tracks and foot trails around it. Definitely worh visiting.
