Kastelfeder -No Castelfeder (castello = Castle in Italian) between Auer und Montan is a very special place. The sunny Porphyry Hill impresses with its interesting vegetation and by a Biotope the very different nature.

Usually it is in South Tyrol Forests, Orchards, Vineyards or lush meadows, where is frolicking cows, lived. Not so on Castelfeder: from the lush forest no trace, some related rustic oak paint the landscape image of Castelfeders. The barren ground offers only the “Cows for poor farmers” – the goats – sufficient food.

Makes exactly this scenic highlight, together with the magnificent view in the Südtiroler Unterland , the Sunday tour so rich.

So take the best friend of all and he Unterfertige the jump to the other side of the River . Is parked directly on the coal and steel primary race between Auer and mining. Here he begins Nature adventure path biotope Castelfeder, interesting and worth reading information board line the wayside.

Past to small pools we get a way paved with stones to the old Settlement Castelfeder upwards . Now in the autumn you can admire the play of colours between the yellow oak leaves and the blue sky.

After approximately 20 min we reach the highest point of the Castelfeder Hill. Us offers a great view of the Holiday region South Tyrol Unterland: meanders before us is a blue worm South - no fun page, a river, but the no worm River, which direction Salurn transported your water. It spreads among us on this left side of the Adige river Municipality of Neumarkt from. On the other side of the river behind the Unterlandler orchards is located the picturesque Weindorf Tramin with his clearly visible by Castelfeder impressive church tower (the highest of South Tyrol by the way ).

Directly on the Hill, there is much to discover. The remains of an old settlement, She already existed before the Romans, are visible: Parts of the fortified walls and parts of Chapel.

On the history of Castelfeder :

Castelfeder is an ancient settlement, the earliest testimonies to the 2. Century v. CHR. range. Tribes from the stone- and bronze age, Raeter, Romans, Reasonably, Ostrogoths, Lombards, Franks and Bavarii have settled here as medieval noble families and Knight.

Today are above all parts of the curtain wall, It was originally intended as a defence wall, receive and parts of Barbara Chapel, which in this 6. Century is dated.

View from Castelfeder in the Südtiroler Unterland, which is also crossed by the River Adige.

We decide on the southwest side of the Hill to catch some rays of the Sun. Before us a shield with the Inn font: Fertility slide! How, What? What does that mean? A more detailed inspection of designated rocks brings to days of the puzzle solution. One Slide in the rock, of course even worn !

On Castelfeder between coarse part of the original walls and the boulders on the fertility slide is located.

A quick look - and I already know - need for links to the best friend of all not to ask. The best friend of all wants to test the fertility slide in no way, at least not… OK, accepted, Let us leave that the women's times, which yearn for next generation. We want to wear out the slide not overly only so for fun and your function for those, they need really endanger .

OK , that's we need our Walk on Sunday, which is really not a Sunday stroll but an all Saints walk, Cancel. In the afternoon we have a date in the Friedhof… that both

The industrious reader, the is up here even we can only advise: Castelfeder is worth at any time of year walking in any case if it is especially beautiful in autumn. The interested visitor is one quiet barren landscape with rustic oak find, is it the beautiful view in the always sunny Südtiroler Unterland enjoy.

You are still not convinced? I would have to offer there is another reason for the visit of Castelfeder - which Fertility slide:
