7 Sights in Brixen - Bressanone, Italy (with Map and Images)

The Pfeffersberg Castle Ruins, also known as Pfefferburg, is a castle ruin on the Pfeffersberg on the western slope of the Brixen basin. The castle hill drops steeply on three sides and is protected from the mountain side in the west by a depression with a fallback hill. A prehistoric settlement was found here. A treasure legend that refers to Pfeffersberg Castle points to its old age. On the top of the hill are the foundations of the keep and further east 3 m high, approx. 1.20 m thick walls, which originate from the ring wall, which was probably built here with the Palas. This ring wall is visible from afar and is mistaken for a vineyard wall. Between the keep and the ring wall are the remains of an old well. The entire complex is heavily overgrown with undergrowth, so that its dimensions are difficult to recognize. The hill offers a good view over the city of Bressanone and the entire valley basin.
