Eppan Castle Festival
Experience the Middle Ages up close at the Eppan Castle Festival, a special event for the whole family! At the picturesque Hocheppan Castle, the Knights of Andrian will enchant you with mesmerizing medieval dances, impressive armour displays, thrilling sword fights, and an exciting jousting tournament. For young visitors, there will be interactive workshops, where they can craft wooden jewellery and showcase their bravery in a special children's tournament.
At Boymont Castle, you can enjoy rustic, hearty cuisine paired with a glass of Eppan wine in a medieval atmosphere. The castle tavern is the perfect place to stop along the “Castle Triangle” hike between Hochepann Castle, Boymont Castle and Korb.
