The village church is dedicated to St. Joseph and dates back to 1981, when it took over the role of the parish church from a chapel.

Also the chapel from 1900 is also still in existence: It was built by Josef Runggaldier after he survived an accident during forestry work.

The hamlet of Runcadic - as Roncadizza is called in Ladin - is part of the municipality of Castelrotto, like Bulla and Oltretorrente, but is located right next to Ortisei and therefore belongs to the Ladin cultural circle. Here you are at almost 1,200 m a.s.l. on the slope of the Mount Bullaccia, a widely known panoramic mountain with many a mystical spot, such as the Witches' Benches.

Above the village, the route climbs another few hundred metres to the Passo Pinei mountain pass, which connects the Val Gardena valley with Castelrotto. At this altitude, you can get to know the geological features of the area on the well-known Geotrail and discover the Bulla Gorge.

In the village itself there is the Tennis Centre, which regularly becomes a venue for smaller and larger events. Probably the best known is the Unika Art Fair, which presents works by artists from the Val Gardena to a wide audience in late summer. In addition to the cultural activities, the Tennis Centre also offers bouldering, tennis and beach volleyball. A few metres away, another institution tells you about milk processing: the Ghërdeina Lat dairy with its adventure museum.
