The walk starts in the centre of Matrei i. O. and follows the Proßeggweg to the junction below the castle. From there, a wide gravel path (suitable for pushchairs) leads into the castle grounds. Along the way, you’ll find oversized metal animal sculptures created by a local artist. Information boards tell stories about the region’s flora and fauna. The castle grounds themselves, with their thick, gnarled trees, invite you to linger. From the castle grounds, the route follows the Felbertauernstraße – past the chemist’s – back to the centre.
