This is a short detour from the Oswald-Von-Wolkenstein-Weg.
Hidden under a thick rock is a small area with seating (for children) and a thick book with short stories and legends from the area to read aloud.

On the Oswald-von-Wolkenstein-Weg, a few stops explain a lot about the namesake and his era of the castles here in South Tyrol. The whole thing is designed to be very playful and nice for children. Two ruins crown the path. Unfortunately we currently have bad weather here, so photos wouldn't have been worth it. The end of the path in the dark forest with its hidden (mythical) creatures was particularly “eerie” this time.
Oh yes, don't forget the trip to the fairy tale book.

Definitely run, especially with children! I would take bus 15 (free with a guest card) to Bad Ratzes and then walk comfortably down to Salegg. Very pleasant even in midsummer (partial shade), and also very entertaining thanks to the many great information cards. The terrain is undemanding, but not for strollers.
Stop at Pizzeria Salegg (great pizza, not much crowd, closed between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.) and then get on the bus. Stop directly below the pizzeria.
