Statz can be explored through a range of themes: hiking trails pass through the district, a mountain biking route runs through Statz, and there are also the Statz Chapel, a themed playground and Kandlerhof, which makes its own noodles. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a trip to Statz, it helps to decide in advance: should a particular route shape your stay, or are you more interested in the chapel, playground and farm production?
Hiking and cycling with different route options
On the walk to Kraftsee, the descent back to Matrei leads via Mühlen and Statz. The Steinach–Matrei circular hike follows the marked signs from Puig via Mühlen to Statz and on to Matrei. Mühlen and Statz feature in both descriptions, but the route context differs: one is the return journey from Kraftsee, the other a circular hike starting in Puig. When choosing, it is therefore important to consider the starting point and the description of the route you select.
Stage 58 of the VIA ROMEA GERMANICA runs from Matrei am Brenner to Brenner Pass. It is rated as moderately difficult, is 21.3 kilometres long and is described as taking 6:15 hours. At the playground, it follows the road “Statz” straight ahead across the intersection. The distance, difficulty rating and duration together provide a concrete basis for planning your day. Check the current route description before setting off, as route conditions can change.
For mountain bikers, the route “From Brenner via Schlüsseljoch and Hühnerspielhütte to Innsbruck” joins the Brenner Cycle Path. On the way to Matrei am Brenner, it passes through the district of Statz. This provides a dedicated cycling route as a planning option alongside the hiking routes.
Chapel and farm history
The Statz Chapel, also known as Halder Chapel, is located in the northern part of Statz; its address is Statz 14b, 6143 MĂĽhlbachl. It is associated with the year 1535 and is protected as a listed monument by regulation. The chapel therefore offers a cultural and historical point of interest that can be considered independently of your choice of hiking or cycling route.
Kandlerhof is located in Statz (MĂĽhlbachl), on the border with Steinach am Brenner, and has been owned by the Seehauser family since 1942. Its noodles are made with eggs from the farm: six whole free-range eggs are used per kilogram of dough. Here, a long-standing family history goes hand in hand with a concrete insight into food production. For travellers interested in the origins and production of food, the precise ingredient information offers a distinct local point of interest.
A destination of its own at the southern end of the village
The accessible themed playground in Statz is located beside the Sill at the southern end of Matrei. Its location and the specifically stated accessibility apply to the playground itself. If you would like to focus on one place rather than a route, you can make it the main focus of your day’s plans.
