    Most paths are asphalted, but there are also natural paths and sections of consecutive paths.

    Author’s recommendation

    The few narrow and hilly paths can be bypassed by wheelchair users on asphalted routes.

    Barrier-free WC facilities

    There is a barrier-free WC in the Franzensburg, which can be opened with a Euro-Key. It takes about 20 minutes from all park entrances to reach the Franzensburg.

    Roadbook

    From the bus stop, about 5 minutes to the park entrance.  We walk past the old castle or through it and come to the Lion Bridge (asphalt). After the bridge, we turn right onto a natural path that takes us to the next bridge. The path then leads us to the grotto. From here, it is again a natural path until the Franzensburg. After crossing the castle pond, the path surface is fine gravel and leads us past the Mariannen Island. We continue walking on a forest road, past the Knight's Column to the Knight's Tomb. From here, the path is asphalted again. The buildings at the park entrance are already in sight. Just a short distance to the bus stop.
