From the tourist information office in the centre of Dorf Tirol follow the signs to Tirol Castle. Past the parish church, Schlossweg branches off to the left just above the cemetery. The route passes through a narrow alleyway to the Doss viewpoint. Here the trail branches off to the right and initially passes between vineyards and orchards, then through a small tunnel (Knappenloch) and over a bridge that crosses the Köstengraben gorge. Finally, there is a short, steep climb to the castle.

The quickest way back to the starting point is to follow the same route.
