We walked here at night. The village is not in good condition, but the surroundings of the church are spectacular.

We weren't able to log in to the phone number you provided, but we thought we'd make an attempt. We were lucky. There we found the church caretaker from whom we received exhaustive information. I liked the view although the tower deserved a shingle renovation. The surrounding landscape is wonderful.

It is a fantastic place, an uplifting feeling to be on this hill, as if it were an ancient cult place. Those who can only visit here, because the guide is memorable and heart-warming.
