Castelrotto – Home of the Kastelruther Spatzen

Castelrotto – South Tyrol's lively traditional stage in the heart of the Alps

Here, the legendary folk music group Kastelruther Spatzen thrills audiences with rousing open-air concerts, and a museum dedicated to the region's musical and cultural treasures tells its story. The historic town centre is adorned with painted houses, and the baroque, 82-metre-high Kastelruther church tower watches over a living history.
Its location near the Seiser Alm makes Kastelruth the ideal starting point for unforgettable hikes and first-class winter sports.
