Address

It's the wooded island you can see from the Old Town, and the first to greet you off the boat are peacocks, descendants of birds brought by Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg, who bought the island in the 19th century. Inland is a little salt lake, the 'Dead Sea', fed through gaps in the rock, where kids float about. You can walk to the ruined Benedictine cloister, the botanical garden and the French fort on top, and in the monastery there's a replica Iron Throne from Game of Thrones you can sit on. On the south shore, people jump off the flat rocks into the sea.
