A little medieval charm and a whole lot of nature

On the Three Castle Hike, you will get to discover Hocheppan Castle, the Boymont Castle ruins and, of course, Korb Castle, where this art history hike begins. First, you reach Hocheppan Castle via a pleasant hiking trail through scrub forest with a splendid view of Bolzano and the Dolomites. Boldly built on a rock, the castle combines the romance of a medieval castle complex with the beauty of the landscape. The castle chapel of Hocheppan, which is also known as the "Sistine Chapel of the Alps" thanks to its valuable Romanesque frescoes, is particularly worth a visit. The route then continues along a somewhat more adventurous narrow path of porphyry stones towards the Boymont Castle ruins situated on a magnificent vantage point. The castle tavern is a good place to stop for refreshments before returning to Korb Castle.

 

the WALK: the three castle circular hike from Korb Castle > approx. 2 hours

the KNOWLEDGE: thanks to its Romanesque frescoes, the free-standing castle chapel of Hocheppan Castle is an important feature on the "Alpine Road of Romanesque Art" between Chur in Switzerland and Lake Garda.
