Day 3 Zillertalbahn & Tratzberg Castle We start our day in style by travelling on the Zillertalbahn . We marvel at the peaks and the jagged rocks of the scenery on our 32 kilometre journey to the lovely resort of Mayrhofen. We have some free time here before visiting the magnificent Tratzberg Castle , where we enjoy a guided tour . We learn more about the history of the Castle, which is first mentioned in documents dating from the 13th century. After falling into ruin, it was rebuilt by the Fugger family and became a classic example of 16th century Tyrolean castles.
