Forts & Castles

Salegg ruins

Seis/Siusi, Kastelruth/Castelrotto, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
Since time immemorial, the mystical thrall of the Hauenstein and Salegg ruins has inspired tales of adventure in the realms of local legend.
from center

The ruins of Salegg are not far from the Hauenstein ruins, at the foot of the might rock face of the Santner, hidden deep in the forest. The castle dates back to the 12th century and were passed in the hands of the Wolkenstein dynasty. 
Today all hat remains of its former glory are the castle walls, and yet the site continues to emanate a very special, mysterious energy.
According to an old legend, a secret passageway runs between the two castles Hauenstein and Salegg.
