Oswald von Wolkenstein Ritt - 7th/8th June 2008
Each year innumerable cultural events attract increasingly more visitors to the Schlern plateau in South Tyrol.
One of the best known is the Oswald von Wolkenstein Ritt, a horse riding event, namend after the popular medieval trobadour.
The spectators are held spellbound by suspense, action and folklore, when altogehter 36 teams of four compete in four tournament matches, all in authentic historical settings.
Among other contests, man and steed chase through the "labyrinth" in the shadow of Oswald's home, Hauenstein at Seis, while the large bathing pond Völser Weiher is the venue for the steeplechase, finishing with the ride trough the gate before the venerable castle Schloss Prösels.
The arrival of the teams is celebrated on the day before the main tournament.
