Explanation
On a dizzyingly high outcrop of dolomite rise the medieval ruins of Salorno’s castle - Haderburg. It was built in the first half of the thirteenth century and is one of the most important monuments in South Tyrol. The castle with its winery is open to the public from Easter until All Saints. Each year Salorno-Haderburg Castle hosts musical, literary and folk events.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
You start from the car park in the village square of Salorno. The walk leads to the centre of the village and after 100 m turn right onto the "Sentiero delle visioni” (path of visions) that, after following slightly uphill hairpin bends and going through a deciduous wood, you arrive directly at the entrance of the castle and, up some stairs, straight inside the fortress. "Hail to thee!" This is the welcome that awaits you at Salorno Castle, a place where the medieval atmosphere and the views over the Bassa Atesina can be savoured and enjoyed. In the large courtyard there is a medieval tavern where the castle innkeeper spoils his guests with the food and drink of our ancestors.
