The Schloss Matrei-Trautson suspension bridge

Austria is known for its magnificent alpine landscapes, and Wipptal certainly does not disappoint with the view from the Schloss Matrei-Trautson suspension bridge. The suspension bridge leads to the castle Matrei Trautson, built in 1221 by Count Albrecht II of Tyrol. The castle was previously called the "Pearl of the Wipptal" before American bombers destroyed the building at the end of World War II. The 150-meter suspension bridge spans the gorge that separates Pfons and the castle and offers a fantastic view to the north in the direction of Innsbruck.

You can visit the suspension bridge via a walking route that starts at Matrei railway station and continues to the suspension bridge and the castle. On the way back, the trip goes through the historic Matrei. You have free access to the suspension bridge, which is part of an extensive renovation project. The castle of Matrei-Trautson is under restoration and will be opened to visitors. You can already visit the 150 meter long suspension bridge and experience the beautiful view.
