Für Gäste im Ansitz Montani ist sie eine Gelegenheit, die Burgenlandschaft des Überetsch zu Fuß kennenzulernen und Bewegung mit Kultur zu verbinden.
Three Castles with Distinct Characters
Korb Castle is now used as a castle hotel. Hocheppan Castle impresses with its elevated position and views over the Etsch Valley to the Dolomites. The Romanesque castle chapel is particularly worth seeing.
The Boymont Castle ruins form another stop. Its preserved keep and the views over the surrounding area make it an exciting destination for anyone interested in historic buildings. Castle taverns along the route offer opportunities for refreshments; please check their current opening times.
Which Route Suits Your Walking Day?
The Eppan Tourist Association describes a longer route starting from St. Pauls fire station and a shorter one from the castle car park in Missian. The longer tour is estimated to take about four hours, while the shorter one takes about two hours of walking time. Visits and breaks are additional.
The tour is classified as moderately difficult. Between Hocheppan and Boymont, a secured staircase is part of the route. Therefore, choose sturdy footwear and plan the walk according to your fitness level.
