The "Oswald von Wolkenstein foot path" in Siusi

If you want to make a journey through time and see how minstrels, noble damsels and knights lived in the middle ages, than you have to visit the „Oswald von Wolkenstein path“ in Siusi allo Sciliar.

The 15 stations along the path not only provide information about the minstrel himself, but also
about the oeriod, which was dominated by myths and fables. The hierarchical structure of society in those days, life at court and medieval figures, such as knights and damsels, are described along the Stopps of the path, as well as the strict rules of the table manners. We also find the portrayal of surreal characters, such as the little dragon Dlawso (the mascot), who guards a mysterious treasure of gold and silver, to this day never discovered. Whit a little luck you can even see a unicorn…!
The visitors can enjoy a journy through the Middle Ages, a period that even today leaves a lot of room fort he imagination. The path offers a very interesting amusement for families and school paries that want to broaden their historical horizon.

The "Peace Footpath"

Calvary in Castelrotto
This trail is designed as a contemplative path where visitors can relax, meditate, and refresh themselves spiritually. The path (with an altitude differential of approx. 130 meters) can be taken in both directions, i.e. down from the "Kegelplatz" on the Kofel towards the Förstlbach brook or from there uphill towards Kofel. At the start, the path features explanatory signs on both sides which depict the course and the meaning of the symbols visitors will later encounter along the path.
