The name Kastelruth comes from the name „Castellum Ruptum,” which means “destroyed castle.” Historical documents have revealed that a magnificent fortress stood on the Calvary hill.
This hiking tour can be found in the family hiking booklet “Out and About with Nix the Witch”.
The set-off point is the historic village square of Kastelruth. From here, you pass under the right archway of today‘s town hall, former residence of the Counts of Kraus, towards the Calvary hill. The path leads past two chapels to the bowling square. At the end of the pathway you will reach the so-called „Infang“, a truly idyllic place.
After circling the Calvary hill and admiring the view over the village with its high church tower and Schlern mountain in the background, return to the village square.
Refreshment stop in the village centre. Pram-friendly trail.
