Immerse yourself in Tyrol's history and discover impressive places with interesting pasts along the water walk. Along the circular hiking trail you will find 31 notice boards with interesting information about the historical places of the region. In addition, there are also some venues where you can stop for something to eat and drink. There are also several children's playgrounds along the route.

Basically, the WasserWanderWeg is designed to be accessed at any point. Each station has its own "story", independent of the others and yet the WasserWanderWeg (www) forms a whole.

The old house at the so-called Kramstollen (mining tunnel), for example, is a reminder of the thousands of years of mining activity on the Groß- and Kleinkogel. In prehistoric times copper was mined here. Or let your imagination run wild at Lichtwerth Castle and imagine how the castle once stood on an island. Surrounded by Matzen Castle, Neumatzen Castle (Lipperheide), Lichtwerth Castle and the Kropfsberg ruins, the picturesque Matzen Park is one of the most beautiful and important cultural landscapes in the Tyrol. Gut Matzen’s northern wall is adorned with various Coat of Arms documenting the past lords of the manor and their rule. But these are just some of the highlights along the way!
