On the Schlossberg Wildon, history can be felt up close and there is so much to discover on the tour; fascinating ruins!
The almost uninterrupted settlement until modern times gives the Wildoner Schlossberg a unique position in the entire southeast Alpine region. In 1978, the prehistorian Diether Kramers became interested in this site and seven years later he started an excavation and conservation project of enormous proportions:
