Aandrijving
Zacht, met drie nachten in één basis
When to go
Oktober tot maart, met een geboekte winterplaats
Veerboten
Mainland roads; no vehicle ferry

Why this trip: One booked base for three nights, with a low-ground outdoor day and an indoor option.

The trade-off: Riverside paths can flood or ice over. The castle approach is uphill, and its usual car park is currently restricted.
