    Castel Wolkenstein
    Photo: Dolomites Val Gardena
A steep path starts near the "Carabinieri" training centre in Vallunga and heads up to the castle ruins. Built at the beginning of the 13th century, it collapsed in 1525 and has never been rebuilt. It has been owned by the Wolkenstein family since the 14th century. Oswald von Wolkenstein, a famous minstrel and poet born in South Tyrol between 1376 and 1387, died in Merano 1445, probably spent his summers in the castle.

Access at your own risk. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Approach
The medieval ruins are located at the entrance of the Val Gardena in Vallunga over 1600 meters high in the rock wall of the Stevia.
