Castle route "Castelronda" Jenesien variant B

The approximately 20 km long castle route "Castelronda" connects the castles and castle ruins of Bolzano, Jenesien, and Terlan: Runkelstein Castle, Rafenstein Castle, Greifenstein Ruin (Sauschloss), Helfenberg Ruin, and Neuhaus Castle Ruin (Maultasch). Hikers are rewarded with views of the most beautiful castles and castle ruins in the area.

The route starts at Runkelstein Castle in Bolzano and leads past the valley station of the Jenesien cable car to the Rafenstein Ruin. Then it continues to Glaning, past the Noafer inn, over the Greifenstein Ruin (Sauschloss) and on to the Helfenberg Ruin, which also offers magnificent panoramas of the surroundings. The descent to Terlan passes Neuhaus Castle (Maultasch), where the "Castelronda" castle route ends.

Start points can be chosen from Bolzano, Jenesien or Terlan, but it is also possible to walk only shorter sections as desired.

We especially recommend the hike on the castle route in spring, autumn and winter.
