The turning for Coldrano/Goldrain is 5 kms from Silandro (direction Meran), it is on the RIGHT after a small industrial zone (on right side) and a short tunnel. It's only 50m after the tunnel exit so watch your speed, it's small and you could miss it. If you do miss it just take the next RIGHT and you'll double back on yourself. If you don't miss it then you will find two speed bumps and a bridge at the bottom which you go under by turning LEFT, carry on straight up through the village. The castle is at the end... you can't miss it. If in doubt just follow the brown signs for the castle (Schloss).
Marienberg is above the town of Burgeis/Burgusio, On the evenings of the event there will be no on-street or off-road parking available (it's on the side of a mountain) and the village has limited parking space. If you feel fit there is a path, Otherwise please use the shuttle buses that will be operating to and from the train station in Mals/Malles. |
