Geocache Description:


DEUTSCH:
Während dieser schönen Burgen-Rundwanderung (siehe Karte) kann dieser Cache und noch 2 weitere gehoben werden:
"Kreideturm - mc25", "Hocheppan - mc26"

Um 1235, wiederum von den Grafen von Eppan erbaut, wird Schloss Boimont als Lehe an die Familie von Boymont (ein Ministerialgeschlecht) und von Korb übergeben. Fast zwei Jahrhunderte später ergeht der Besitz durch eine Erbschaft an Ulrich Kässler, dem Sekretär von Herzog Friedrich mit der leeren Tasche. Ungefähr 12 Jahre später ging die Burg aufgrund eines Erbstreites in Flammen auf und wurde dabei zu einem grossen Teil zerstört. Eine Wiedererrichtung war nachher nicht mehr geplant. Erst der jetzige Besitzer, Fritz Dellago, restaurierte das Gebäude im Jahre 1977 soweit es möglich war.
Viel Spass beim Suchen !

ITALIANO:
Durante questa bella gita ai castelli d'Appiano (vedi cartina allegata) puoi trovare questo cache insieme ad altri due cache:
"Kreideturm - mc25", "Hocheppan - mc26"

Le rovine di Castel Boymont si trovano sopra Missiano, abbracciati da un bosco su una piccola altura. Vari reperti testimoniano il fatto che questa collina era già insediata all’età preistorica. I Conti d’Appiano fecero costruire nel 1235 il castello, il quale poi fu concesso come feudo ai signori di Boymont, ministeriali di tali conti. Attorno il 1400 viveva un certo Ulrich Kässler nel castello, un segretario del duca Federico IV, più noto come „Federico dalle tasche vuote“. Quest’uomo sposò nel 1413 la ricca ereditiera Barbara von Boymont. Nel 1425 un incendio distrusse grandi parti di Castel Boymont e si presume che sia stato appiccato a causa di contrasti ereditari. Da questo momento in poi, il castello fu abbandonato e cadde in rovina, fino a che nel 1977 Fritz Dellago, l’attuale proprietario del castello, lo restaurò.
Buon divertimento !

ENGLISH:
You can find this cache and 2 more during a nice halfday-hike (see attached map) to the castles near Appiano:
"Kreideturm - mc25", "Hocheppan - mc26"

Castel Boymont is located on a forested rock spur above the small but mighty village of Missiano. Findings prove that the castle hill was already settled in prehistoric times. The castle was built by the counts of Appiano around 1235, which was passed on as feud to the Boymont family. Around 1400 a certain Ulrich Kässer resided at this castle, who was secretary of Herzog Friedrich with the empty pocket. In 1413 he married Barbara von Boymont, while in 1425 the castle burnt down as an act of incendiarism, probably due to a quarrel on inheritance: from this point of time it fell into decay, up until Fritz Delago, the present owner of the castle, had the castle renovated in 1977.
Have fun !
