A hike into the past
Organizer: South Tyrol Museum of ArchaeologyAncient Mobility: In prehistory and the Middle Ages roads and paths led travelers over the Ritten Plateau to avoid the swampy Eisack Valley below. These roads and paths are still visible in some places today: at the ruins of Castle Zwingenstein which date back to the 13th century and was built to guard an ancient road. Nearby there are also remnants of a Rhaetian dwelling (2nd century BC).
Afterwards, hikers pass a church whose patron saint was St. Sebastian during the plague. This same church dates back to the time of the nearby Roman road. From there hikers go up toward Lake Wolfsgruben and then proceed to the prehistoric and early historical site of Wallburg Wallner Egg.
The hike ends at the mountain station of the Ritten cable car in Oberbozen/Soprabolzano.
