Route description
In the footsteps of the knights along the 12-kilometre-long knight round. The less demanding hike along the castles, palaces and ruins of Laces, Morter and Coldrano. You will pass the ruins of Obermontani Castle, which was built in 1228 by Albert II of Tyrol as a fortress against the bishops of Chur. Today the castle is privately owned and therefore not accessible.

You start the hike in Latsch and continue to the IceForum past Bierkeller and then follow trail no.5A past castles, palaces and ruins.
