You will also pass by the Lingner Palace where you can peek into the well-mowed gardens, the site of lavish parties once upon a time. Marvel at the trio of castles, majestically built with huge towers, perched on the rocks. On your way back you will come across the Wasserwerk Saloppe, a water tower disguised as a Venetian palazzo, a charming site.
