View of Mareccio Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is an excellent point to admire the Mareccio castle. From here, the medieval castle appears imposing against the backdrop of the mountains.

It was built in the 13th century, although its current structure dates back to the 16th century, when the Römer family transformed it into a Renaissance-style residential castle. Today it is mainly used as a conference center, but is also open for visits.

View of Bolzano from the Oswald Promenade

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Sant'Osvaldo promenade extends on the slopes of the historic center of Bolzano, lined with cypresses, cedars and jasmine. The path winds above the famous and sunny vineyards of Santa Maddalena.

This route is great for running as the trail is wide, with a dirt and gravel surface. Among the cypress trees, you will find a viewing platform that offers an enchanting view of Bolzano.
