Notes: The main pay-and-display parking area (with a barrier) is located about 250 m from the entrance and is not accessible: the entire surface is graveled and uneven, making it difficult for wheelchairs.
There are parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities located directly in the courtyard in front of the entrance gate. The area is closed off by a mobile barrier with an information sign: to gain access, you must ask the staff to move the barrier or move it yourself. The surface of the courtyard is graveled.

Notes: The visit to the former Habsburg fortress begins in the large entrance courtyard. The small chapel is located here; however, it can only be visited by overcoming three steps, though a new ramp will be installed shortly to ease access. The outdoor spaces feature paths with gravel surfaces or sections of grass that are occasionally sloped.
