At the foot of the 1866 m high Gantkofel is the well-known Eppan castle triangle. On an art-historically interesting hike, you get an impression of "medieval South Tyrol".
This art-historical hike leads us to the famous Eppan castle triangle. We first reach Hocheppan Castle, which is one of the most important fortifications in South Tyrol. After a visit and a break at the castle tavern, we hike to the Boymont castle ruin, which, although defensively designed, ultimately served more for living than for defending the area. Slightly below is Korb Castle, dating from the Romanesque period, which now houses a hotel. Via the idyllic small village of Missian – lined with forest and orchards – we finally return to Andrian.
