The starting point of this walk is the Korberplatz. From there you walk down the street Virgener Straße until reaching the bridge Brugger Brücke. Cross the bridge and walk along the sidewalk on the right side into the district Auerfeld. After about 100 m turn left into the district Weier and walk over the bridge Zeller Brücke. After the bridge turn right and keep left at the next junction. Follow the asphalt road. As soon as you have mastered the curve, you can already see the church St. Nikolauskirche. The Romanesque frescoes in the upper choir of the church were painted in the middle of the 13th century and are evidence of great painting skills. Then you follow the course of the road and gradually turn left. Then continue in a northerly direction to the district Bichl. At the house Bichl 1 (Ferienhaus Grofn) turn left and follow the road down to the river Isel. After the Bichler bridge, continue to walk left along the dam to the Zeller bridge. Approx. 1km after the bridge you turn right onto the Dammweg, which brings you back to the center of Matrei and to the Korberplatz.
