Beautiful hike with great views of the Vinschgau and the Martell Valley ???

As described by other users, only a ruin of this guard post remains. However, the path to get there, also wanting to continue towards the castle itself, is so pleasant that I recommend it. Suitable for both trekking and cycling.

Small ruin, which can be reached via a footbridge at the beginning of the "cliff". Trails can be used by both mountain bikers and hikers. Through the ruin you can visit the underlying church and castle.

Always nice here. The bike trail down here is fun with its switchbacks. It's not long, but it's worthwhile to start or end the day and you have a beautiful view

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
