    The Castelfeder hill is an ancient cultural landscape with settlement traces from the Stone and Bronze Age. The remains of a castle complex, the legendary fertility slide, cup marks, and the walls of the Barbara chapel testify to a mystical past. The area is significant from archaeological, historical, and ecological perspectives. It was designated as a protected biotope under landscape protection several years ago.

    Author’s recommendation

    Castelfeder ruin: Arcadia, former Roman outpost, over which the Roman military road "Via Claudia Augusta" also led.

    Natural biotope: dry site with very intensive grazing, several small ponds, small reed-fringed lake, ancient oaks.

    Best season: possible all year round, especially rewarding in spring and autumn.
