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.

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

Great cycle paths with signage and a fantastic panorama.

Sigmundskron Castle sits enthroned on a rock at a strategically important location. It is a symbolic landmark for the South Tyroleans. On November 17, 1957, approximately 35,000 South Tyroleans from all valleys and regions 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 strong connection to this castle in his homeland.

Super beautiful section, sometimes quite narrow with luggage when it is busy.

A really great route. It's important to have surefootedness, sturdy mountaineering boots and a head for heights. And of course some time, as you'll definitely want to take lots of photos.
