No matter where you ride, there's always a solution for cyclists here in South Tyrol. Great view of the river from the bridge.

Sigmundskron Castle (also known as Firmian, Italian: Castel Firmiano)
Southwest of Bolzano, above the small village of Frangart in the municipality of Eppan, Sigmundskron Castle sits atop a porphyry rock, one of the largest castle complexes in South Tyrol. The original name, "Formigar," comes from the Latin "formicaria." It is one of the oldest known names for a castle in South Tyrol. The structure was first mentioned under this name around 945 AD; later, the name was changed to "Firmian." The Italian name for Sigmundskron is still Firmiano.

Owned by the Bishop of Trent since 1027, the complex passed to Sigmund "the Rich," the ruler of Tyrol, in 1473. It was only at this time that the castle received its current name, "Sigmundskron Castle." The castle owes its name to its shape, as the broad layout of the complex resembles a crown (Sigmund's Crown). The castle is also a political symbol for many South Tyroleans, as it was the site of the "Los von Trento" (Away from Trento) in 1957, a large public demonstration led by Silvius Magnago to demand independent autonomy and protest the non-compliance with the Paris Agreement.
