Buffavento Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

The rustic restaurant is located directly on the Besparmak Pass, where you can turn left to Buffavento Castle and right to the Five Finger Mountains. The view to the north is really gigantic! The restaurant itself is a truly unique piece made of wood and reeds.

Buffavento Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle Buffavento (from the Italian buffa di vento - gust of wind) is the ruin of a medieval summit castle in the Pentadaktylos Mountains. The castle itself can only be reached on foot from the small parking lot via a rocky path - so nothing for racing bike shoes!
Attention! - The road from Taskent east to the intersection with the main road is a dusty gravel road and leads largely through facilities for gravel - our narrow racing tires have survived this harmless, but for road bikes to recommend this road is not.
