Entering with bicycles is not permitted - the suspension bridge offers great views.

The freely accessible suspension bridge is located on the circular path from Matrei train station to Matrei-Trautson Castle and connects the castle grounds with the municipality of Pfons. The 150-meter-long bridge leads over the gorge and offers great views to the north towards Innsbruck. Not very suitable for dogs!
