    Hiking

    If you follow the castle path in Dorf Tirol from the parish church, after a few steps you will have a wide view over the vineyards to the Etsch Valley and the Vinschgau. Also in the picture is Tyrol Castle, which sits majestically on a moraine hill. It can be reached in about 20 minutes on the busy, sunny Schlossweg, which also leads through an 83 meter long tunnel - called Knappenloch.

    Definitely nice and cool and a bit of a change on the way to the castle. A traffic light regulates traffic for cars and pedestrians here.

    Pedestrian tunnel of Tirol Castle
    The pedestrian tunnel of Tirol Castle is a significant part of the castle's historical heritage. It allows visitors to explore the impressive structures and the historical atmosphere of the castle. However, the tunnel is not suitable for wheelchair users and only provides access to certain areas of the castle. It is important to note the conditions and ensure that all visitors have the opportunity to explore the castle.

    An 83 m long tunnel, the so-called “Knappenloch”, which Emperor Leopold I had drifted into the moraine slope in 1686. The castle of the Lords of Rubein once stood high above the Knappenloch, of which nothing can be seen today.
