    Plenty of parking on both sides of the bridge and only a few euros for a few hours. The lake, river and church compliment each other beautifully.

    There is a small admission charge to view this gem of a church. The lady on the desk was very welcoming and helpful. The church is covered in wall paintings, several illustrating the life of St John.

    Come see this very old church. There's a painting of Cain with a white devil on his shoulder and other unusual sites. Great fun!
