A Castle under everyone's eyes that few observe and that deserves to be observed! The castle also presents itself as a hotel residence and information can be found on the website. Almost hidden by vegetation it allows for a very appreciable view of the city of Bolzano. Nearby there is a bunker which, seen from above, is in line with a cross and the bell tower of the church of San Paolo.... a beautiful vision and a profound contrast of meanings!!!!
