Tips
The tower is so high that the castle almost looks a bit like a church. Welsperg Castle is a rather rare inner castle and the high keep is the oldest part of it. The unusual proportions were created by a fire after the burnt-out top floor of the outbuilding was demolished and the roof structure was simply rebuilt one floor below. The history of the complex is also exciting and you can find out more about it on a tour.

Beautiful little castle that is worth a visit. It is easy to reach by trekking bike - there is only a small hill between the cycle path and the rocky outcrop. ;-) More information is available at: suedtirolerland.it/de/highlights/burgen-schloesser/schloss-welsperg-welsberg
