    Perched above the Talfer gorge, the ruins of Rafenstein Castle are one of the most distinctive landmarks of the Bolzano landscape. The Schlossrunde starts from Bolzano, follows the Talfer gorge past Schloss Runkelstein and Burg Ried, and leads up to Gasthaus Rafenstein. The path runs mostly in the shade, making it ideal for hot summer days
