The town

Kastelruth (Italian: Castelrotto) is in South Tyrol. Perched at about 1,000m above sea level in the Dolomites, this small town is a good place to stay while exploring the nearby Seiser Alm (Italian: Alpi Di Siusi) alpine meadow and the surrounding peaks.

Getting there

The town is 50 minutes by bus from Bolzano along a very winding and scenic view. In the summer, the 170 bus goes stops at Kastelruth but continues onto Ortisei during the day. However, in the evenings, the route gets truncated to end in Kastelruth. Winter schedules may be different. The bus timetables are accessible via the internet and should be consulted before finalizing plans. The town of Seis is higher in altitude than Kastelruth, but comes before it on the 170 route. The main bus stop is in the center of town. Buses are fewer in frequency on a Sunday. The bus stop, in Bolzano, for the 170, is right outside the train station, a little to the right (when facing away from the station). Tickets can be purchased from the bus driver. Other train station stops close to the town are the Intercity and Eurocity stops at Brixen (Italian: Bressanone) and Klausen (Italian: Chiusa).

What to see, according to Wikivoyage

Kastelruth is a small town and there are no major sights. There is a bell tower (for the Church of Saints Peter and Paul) that dominates the town skyline, and eating establishments that cluster around it in the center of the town. In the nearby village of Seis am Schlern one can visit the ruins of Castelvecchio - which is a castle that dates back to medieval times. For a brief period in its history, the Tyrolean 14th century poet Oswald von Wolkenstein lived in this castle. One of the central streets in Kastelruth is named after him.
