Sigmundskron Castle is located south of Bolzano, above the Adige River. The castle has changed hands and names several times over the centuries. Before Sigmundskron, the castle was called Firmian. The current owner, Reinhold Messner, also calls the castle ruins that, more precisely MMM Firmian (Messner Mountain Museum). The MMM is a project with six locations in Tyrol.

Currently owned by Reinhold Messner. With museum...

A unique route to enjoy, a real cycling pleasure.

The section leads from Kaltern down to the Adige River near Bolzano. The ride descends through vineyards, deciduous forest, and two tunnels, winding along the slopes. This provides remarkable views, such as those of Simundskrona. The route partly follows secondary roads, where tractor traffic is permitted, so be careful. Purely enjoyable cycling on what is partly a former railway line.

Great developed bike path

A wonderful starting point for a bike tour is here at the train station - 12 hours free with a parking disc.

Visible from afar, Sigmundskron Castle sits enthroned on the rock. Today, the historic walls house Reinhold Messner's MMM Firmian, the headquarters of a fascinating museum project. It's worth a visit! On November 17, 1957, around 35,000 South Tyroleans from all valleys and parts of the country gathered at Sigmundskron Castle. They protested for more rights. The castle has become a symbol of South Tyrol's autonomy. Reinhold Messner, who was born in Brixen in 1944, therefore shows a great connection to this castle in his homeland.
