Pěkné město,klášter a hrad.

Nádherný hrad, určitě stojí za to ho navštívit. Nechápu jak někdo může tvrdit, že je to ztráta času. Interiéry jsou zařízeny ze sbírek Lichtensteinů, posledních majitelů, v druhém patře je možné vidět zařízení ze zámků Hnojník, Lipník a Potštát. I zámecký park vybízí přímo k posezení a jsou zde opravdu milí a schopní průvodci. Určitě ho navštivte, skvělé místo na celodenní výlet

Ztráta času, snad jen pro 1-2 fotky do alba a nic víc. Není tu žádné okolí k vidění, jen zatuchlé jezírko pod schody.
