Seis am Schlern
Salegg ruins
Seis can be reached from Bolzano and Brixen with the bus line no. 170.
The Ruin of Salegg is located above Seis, at the foot of the Schlern. You start at the bottom station of the Aerial cableway Seis - Seiser Alm and follow the "Oswald von Wolkenstein" path. After half an hour walking you reach the ruins of Salegg.
Parking is available at the valley station of the Seiser Alm Aerial cableway (parking garage or open car park) and in the centre of Seis in the underground car park behind the Esso petrol station.
The ruins of Salegg are not far from the Hauenstein ruins, at the foot of the might rock face of the Santner, hidden deep in the forest. The castle dates back to the 12th century and were passed in the hands of the Wolkenstein dynasty.
Today all hat remains of its former glory are the castle walls, and yet the site continues to emanate a very special, mysterious energy.
According to an old legend, a secret passageway runs between the two castles Hauenstein and Salegg.
