We went to see this medieval castle which sits atop a hill of basalt. This is my favorite castle and we found it on my birthday. Once, I got a Chinese fortune that read “You will inherit a European Castle”… I’m pretty sure this is the one!
The name implies - a hill fort built of "Ronen" or tree trunks. It was built around the 13th century over the foundation of an older fort.
I read that the tower has 143 steps. I’m not sure whether the person on the web miscounted (there is another set of stair leading to the very top) or whether I mixed my notes up with the next tower. While towers can blend together after awhile, I climbed this tower a few times and counted more than once.
