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.

Hiking

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.

The building was erected in the 12th century by the lords of Hauenstein and underwent successive enlargements in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was owned for a third by the fourteenth-century Tyrolean poet Oswald von Wolkenstein, who established his residence there for a few years and composed some of his Lieder. The baron Christoph von Wolkenstein bought the castle in 1551aio 1551 but with time his heirs did not care and this fell into ruin as early as the seventeenth century. of the castle were restored and some frescoes were recovered inside the chapel.
