Special Opening - ruins Castelforte

More information about:

The castle ruins of Festenstein can be described as Andriano's symbol. It reigns over Andriano from the lofty, rocky outcrop of the Gola del Rio Gaida, Its location was certainly a pondered choice by the stonemason to ensure the weapons of the enemies would never reach the castle. At the same time, the spectacular location of the castle offers a 360° view across the lower Valle dell'Adige. Festenstein was first mentioned in written document in the mid- 13th century. In 2008, Count Meinhard Khuen Belasi purchased the castle ruins and commissioned, together with the South Tyrolean Office for Cultural Heritage, various restoration measures to secure the state of the walls and protect the caste from further deterioration.
Festenstein can only be reached via a steep mountain climb.
From Andriano 1h (trail currently closed!)
