Johanneskofel, Mountain summit with castle ruins in Ritten, Italy

The Johanneskofel mountain rises to 660 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes and natural vegetation across its terrain.

Medieval fortifications on the summit of Johanneskofel indicate its strategic importance as a defensive position in South Tyrol during earlier centuries.

The mountain's dual naming, Johanneskofel in German and Punta San Giovanni in Italian, reflects the bilingual heritage of the South Tyrol region.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit from the surrounding villages, with clear signage indicating the routes and estimated walking times.
