Beschreibung
Walking down the road towards the ruins of Grosnez Castle, you will pass heathland dominated by gorse, bracken and heather, home to birds such as the Wiesenpieper, Schwarzkehlchen, Zilpzalp and Bluthänfling, whilst overhead, looking for small mammals are Turmfalke, Mäusebussard and Rohrweihe. In spring 2025 there were at least 3 pairs of Rohrweihe resident
Upon reaching the castle, it is possible to follow paths in either direction along the cliff top. Heading south you can walk to the WWII German observation post and even to the Batterie Molkte gun emplacements, whilst heading north the route takes you to Plemont. The cliffs are home to a variety of seabirds such as Mantelmöwe, Heringsmöwe, Silbermöwe, Sturmmöwe, Austernfischer and Kolkrabe whilst out to see Trottellumme and Atlantiksturmtaucher can often be seen.
