Already known place, it remains a nice stop to eat excellent Tyrolean specialties and drink excellent beer.

Mmmmmm nothing special, a country with the FORST company that is the host. Well immersed in the context though. Too bad that at the brewery shop, the bottles cost more than at the supermarket. Patience, I drink them anyway

Wonderful both in summer and in winter. Good beer good food fast and friendly service. Adjusted price. Great
Carlo Spagnolo (6 years ago)
Quality that has gradually reduced over time and is not worth the price. Beer is good. They feed you quickly and hurry you to leave the place. Never again

It has a very ancient history (it seems to date back to twelve hundred...) and it is famous for having hosted the famous minstrel poet Oswald von Wolkenstein, one of the best known medieval Tyrolean characters, in his prisons for months. Today it is owned by the Forst brewery and is used for events. It is not normally open to visitors.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
