The castle stands on a cliff high above the lake and is one of the oldest fortresses in Slovenia.
Several steep footpaths lead up from the town, or you can drive almost to the gate. Inside are a museum collection, a printing workshop and a wine cellar, and the terrace looks over the lake, the island and the Karavanke.
There is an entrance fee. The light is best late in the afternoon, when the sun falls on the lake.
