Climb the castle with the inclined elevator
If you can't or don't want to climb the 155-metre-high rock cone on which Fortress Hohenwerfen Castle is perched on foot, you can simply take the inclined elevator, which takes visitors to the top of the castle in just under one and a half minutes.
Conquer the fortress hill on foot
However, visitors can also reach the fortress on foot. Via the Vogeltennweg, on which you walk steadily uphill through a sparse forest, you reach the first and second barrier arch after around 15 minutes, where the ticket office is located. The ascent takes about half an hour in total. Sturdy footwear is advisable for the ascent, but especially for the descent in wet weather.
