INFORMATION TROSTBURG CASTLE AT WAIDBRUCK
ACCESSIBILITY
Trostburg Castle is situated at Waidbruck between Bozen (23 km) and Klausen (6 km) at the Brenner route through the lower Eisack valley.
Coming by car to Waidbruck the roundabout in front of the tunnel to the Gröden valley has to be left in direction to the village centre. At Waidbruck there are a train station, bus stops and also enough parking spaces near the parish church.
Trostburg Castle, next to the entry to the Gröden valley, can be reached most comfortably from the village of Waidbuck.
- Coming from the Oswald-von-Wolkenstein square, there is the old Trostburg-path. After a few metres of asphalted street the middle-age path goes through deciduous forest to the castle. Although the ascent is a little bit demanding, the destination is reached within a short time (10 – 15 min)
- A second, asphalted way (ban on driving after 500 metres) leads from the village centre, directly after the cemetery up to the Trostburg. This way is more comfortable than the first one but takes longer (around 30 min)
On the hiking trail leading from Kastelruth over Tisens to Tagusens, a small path to the castle branches off. Allow around 50 minutes walking time.
