Illuminated Tunnel on the Oltradige Cycle Path
Highlight • Cycleway
The cycle route connects the city of Bozen with the wine-growing region between Eppan and Caldaro and with Lake Caldaro
From Bozen, the route leads south along the Eisack to the junction "Meran - Eppan". Here the path follows the Etsch a few km to the north, then it goes to Eppan/Kaltern over a half-timbered bridge. Here, below Sigmundskron Castle, the path begins to climb slightly.
The Überetsch railway used to run at this point. The bike path winds up through the wine country between Cornaiano and Frangarto, passes through a few tunnels and finally, after an underpass, reaches St. Michael. From the former St. Michael Eppan train station, continue southwards, the path runs parallel to the road to the "Kreuzweg" settlement.

View of Sigmundskron Castle (Castel Firmiano)
Highlight • Viewpoint
Southwest of Bozen, above the small village of Frangarto in the municipality of Eppan, Sigmundskron Castle towers on a porphyry rock, one of the largest castle complexes in South Tyrol. The original name "Formigar" comes from the Latin "formicaria". It is one of the oldest known names of a castle in South Tyrol. The building was first mentioned under this name around 945 AD, later the name was changed to "Firmian". The Italian name of Sigmundskron is still Firmiano.
Owned by the Bishop of Trent since 1027, the complex passed to Sigmund "the Rich in Coins", the sovereign of Tyrol, in 1473. It was only at this time that the castle received its current name "Schloss Sigmundskron". The castle also owes its name to its shape, as the broad complex is reminiscent of a crown (Sigmund's crown). The castle is also a political symbol for many South Tyroleans, as it was here in 1957 that the "Los von Trento" took place, a large popular rally under Silvius Magnago to demand independent autonomy and to protest against non-compliance with the Paris Agreement.
