Entry to Castle [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Entry to Castle
The point of entry to the summit of Peak I it's the access to the old castle (dissapear nowadays). It's not natural, but it evitate the rock climb of the walls!

Hi, Rafa!!! This place is very similar to the Polish Jura Krakowsko-Czestochowska where on steep dolomite rocks many castles were erected during the XIV-XVth c.

thanks, a lot of thanks for your votes. This summit had a castle long time ago. Nowadays the ruins are dissapear of the summit of Peak I. This stepcrossing is a recordatory of the access. Obviously this gap it's not natural and make easy the route to all the people (without it I think it's only for rockclimbers).
As curisoity, the Peak II never had a castle but the sheepherds, with the use of a scale in the chimney, they put his sheeps in the summit to evitate the attack of the animals!!! (I'm not sure about it, it's a legend).
Some books called the Peñas (mean Peak) as Castillos de Herrera (herrera's castles), you had the correct apretiation!
