The castle is very pretty and there are some beautiful frescoes. It was smaller than I expected, but we enjoyed walking around it.

It is small but quite interesting and pretty museum. Nice views from the tower. The castle is reachable by foot and it takes 30-40 minutes to walk there (recommend the left bank of the river as it has a nice path with large trees giving shadow)

I visited in late March, so low season. Some facilities were closed but the museum and castle were accessible. 1,5h-2h is enough to get to the castle from parking and to visit.

Castle Runkelstein, a short bus ride away from Bozen, is quite unique in its compact setting and jovial atmosphere unlike most other castles. The 'secular' frescoes adorning its walls, unrelated to any religious or political subjects, instead display scenes from the courtly life of nobility in a surprisingly amusing and self-aware manner, while the 'summer house' is adorned with scenes from Arthurian and other Germanic legends. The whole exhibit takes around an hour to visit, and feels more like an amusing reflection upon the lives of the nobility rather than a museum, and is well worth a visit on a day trip to Bozen.

Lovely little fortress turned castle owned by a middle class merchant family, great exhibits on site around frescos and hunting. There's also a restaurant bat near the entrance. Highly recommended getaway from Bozen.
