Hiking

From Völs to Prösels Castle

Prösels/Presule, Völs am Schlern/Fiè allo Sciliar, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
from center

This relaxing hike leads to the historic Prösels Castle built in 1200 by the Counts of Völs in the year 1200. Take a trip back to bygone days on a guided tour of the Knight’s Hall, the castle chapel and other parts of the Renaissance castle and grounds. There’s no chance of getting bored!

This hiking tour can be found in the family hiking booklet “Out and About with Nix the Witch”.

Itinerary
The hike begins at the tourist office in Völs. Follow trail no. 6 and the signposts leading to “Prösels” through meadows and past farmhouses. After crossing a stream, the path leads slightly uphill through the village of Prösels and the castle. I would recommend joining a guided audio tour in the castle. You can find out about opening and times at the tourist offices or directly at the castle.
To get back, you can either take bus no. 176 or walk back the same way you arrived.

Refreshment stop along the hiking trail. Pram-friendly.
