Wolkenstein Castle Ruins

At the entrance to the Vallunga valley, high up in the rock face of the Stevia group, stand the remains of the medieval castle of the lords of Wolkenstein, from whom Selva takes its German name to this day. The castle was built directly against the cliff, so the ruins appear to grow out of the rock itself. Access is short but steep, over rocky terrain and without railings in places — visitors proceed at their own risk, in sturdy footwear and only in dry weather. Even those who do not make the climb can see the ruins clearly from the valley path below.
