Leuchtenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The way up is rocky and steep. Arrived there is a magnificent view of the Adige Valley and Lake Caldaro. I recommend taking enough drinks, there is no catering upstairs. Sturdy shoes are recommended.

Weinstraße, as a conclusion before returning to the hotel, we hiked up to the castle ruins of Leuchtenburg. At first we were a little disappointed with the view, as we couldn't see too much over the high walls of the outdoor facilities. Then we discovered the entrance to the castle complex itself, from there …

A short hike along often rocky paths to the Leuchtenburg Castle ruins on Lake Kaltern.
