    The Castelfeder hill is an ancient cultural landscape with settlement remains dating back to the Stone Age and Bronze Age. The remains of the castle complex, the legendary “slide of fertility” and the Santa Barbara chapel walls are testament to its mystical past. The area is of particular importance not only from an archaeological and historical perspective but also from an ecological point of view as for years it has enjoyed the status of being a protected natural habitat (biotope).

    Author’s recommendation

    Ruine Castelfeder: Arkadien, ehemaliger Stützpunkt der Römer, über den auch die römische Heeresstrasse "Via Claudia Augusta" führte.

    Naturbiotop: Trockenstandort mit sehr intensiver Beweidung, mehrere kleine Tümpel, kleiner, schilfumrahmter See, uralte Eichen.

    Beste Jahreszeit: ganzjährig möglich, besonders lohnend im Frühling und Herbst.
