Culture & Attractions

The King’s Vantage Point in the Laranz forest

Seis/Siusi, Kastelruth/Castelrotto, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
Forest air and fairytale magic. Ancient cult sites and the primal power of the forest.
from center

The Laranz Forest between Seis and Telfen is the quintessence of a mysterious fairytale forest: The trail through the forest is a gift of peace, strength and inner contemplation. Settlements had already been established on this hilly knoll in the days of Ötzi the Ice Man, and to this day we can still see the Wallburg fortresses of Gschlier and the pre-Christian sacrificial site at the Rungger Egg. The leisurely loop route leads through dappled pine forests to the Königswarte (the "King's Keep"), a spectacular lookout point. Shortly before the Lanzin farms the trail branches off into another loop route, which will take you to a further lookout point, the Katzenlochbühl.
