This attraction is linked to the gardens. It is very nicely made, and certainly worth a visit. Various aspects of the development of tourism in the area are presented in a chronological and pleasant way. The whole thing is in a superb castle. Excellent

Runkelstein Castle lies on a porphyr rock and overlooks the city of Bolzano. Its construction began in the year 1237 by order of the nobles Friedrich and Beral von Wangen. However, its moment of glory was the year 1385, when the castle was acquired by the bourgeois brothers Franz and Niklaus Vintler. Up to the present day Runkelstein Castle hosts the largest cycle of secular medieval frescoes.

The free shuttle bus from Piazza Walther whisks you straight here. 10 minute uphill walk from the car park and you're back in the 13th century ! Entrance is 8 euros but included with the Alto Adige/Sud Tirol Museumobil Card (also covers return train from Trento). Stunning inside and out with great descriptors of those famous medieval frescoes. The exhibition on Maximilian the First (until Jan'20) is outstanding. There's an original 'Weisskunig' novel on display plus 'The Book of Heroes'. Add, wonderful prints of this famous Habsburg, coinage showing just what a self image promoter he was and the famous Maximilian Armour. Brilliant curation ! Lovely coffee/snacks in the atmospheric courtyard and the great staff at the desk arranged the return shuttle. Perfect Saturday at Runkelstein.

We could see this castle from our hotel at night so we decided to check it out. The road to the West of it, from Lagundo, was very fun and scenic on our motorcycle and we were able to park right at the front door although that may be very hard to do with a car. The castle has been partially restored and was done very well. It still feels and looks like it would have 100's of years ago. It's a self guided tour, which we prefer, with good signage and descriptions throughout the castle although some weren't available in English. Also, the views from the castle are amazing.
