Excursions to Rodeneck and the surrounding area.
Whether you enjoy your holiday in a group or as a family, you should at least try out some of the following excursions:
  • Rodeneck/Rodengo Alm, a hiking paradise with panoramic views. The hiking paradise Gitschberg / Jochtal avails of more than 30 Alpine meadows and numerous genuine mountain huts, one of them being the Fane Alm/Pasture, the most beautiful Alpine village in South Tyrol.

The castle is owned by the descendants of Oswald von Wolkenstein. The main attraction is the cycle of frescos on the Iwein epos by Hartmann von Aue. It’s also worth visiting the castle chapel consecrated to Saint Michael, the weapon hall, the castle gardens and the so-called Lauterfresser Hole, a very tight prison cell.
