Alpbachtal water hiking trail

Dive into the history of Tirol and discover impressive places with interesting pasts along the water hiking trail. Along the circular hiking trail, you'll find 33 station boards with interesting information about the historic sites of the region. There are also some places to eat and playgrounds along the route.

Basically, the water hiking trail is designed so you can "join" anywhere. Each station has its own "story," independent from the others, and yet the trail forms a whole.

The old mountain house at the so-called Kramstollen, for example, reminds you of the millennia-long mining activities on the Große and Kleine Kogel. Copper was mined here even in prehistoric times. Or let your imagination run free at Schloss Lichtwerth and envision how the castle once was an island. Surrounded by Schloss Matzen as well as Schloss Neumatzen (Lipperheide), Schloss Lichtwerth and the Kropfsberg ruin, the picturesque Matzen Park is one of the most beautiful and valuable cultural landscapes in Tirol. But these are only some of the highlights along the route!
