![Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 918 W: 27 N: 958]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-s-g.gif) (4539) | After days and days of rain this afternoon at last some sun, so I had to take my bike and my camera...
Castle Sigmundskron (Castel Firmiano in italian) lays on a hill just outside Bolzano - Bozen. It was mentioned for the first time in 945 AD. In the 20th century it was a ruin for many years, though in 1957 a historic demonstration took place when many thousands german speaking people gethered there protesting aganist the politics of itlianisation of the central governement (but everything has changed since: see here). Nowadays (since 2006) the castle is a mountain museum lead by Reinhold Messner, the famous climber (see here - only in italian and german).
As workshops i post other two views of the castle. |
